No, he did not give the BR first base. He simply ruled it a batted ball. The fact that it hit the batter should have been picked up by the 3B umpire. It wasn't."

Granted, I was watching this game through semi closed eyelids - but I would have sworn I saw his hands come up and it looked like he ruled this a HBP. The runner surely did not run hard to 1B - more like a trot. I would think if it had been judged a batted ball, Northwestern's coach would have been all over him - I'd have sworn she stayed in the dugout this time.
