Detached Equipment
Rule 8.5.F.5
A batter is awarded one base only on third strike in fast pitch and modified pitch.
This is obviously referring to a dropped third strike. I'm assuming the runner would only be awarded first if 1B is unoccupied with less than 2 outs or with 1B occupied or unoccupied with 2 outs. In otherwords, the umpire should only award 1B if the batter was able to run on a D3K.
