Ken:

There is no provision in the Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken rulebook that allows for a batter to be waved to first. They have to receive 4 pitches out of the strike zone.


There in no direct rule refference that mentions a batter-runner may overrun first base on a base on balls award, but as BR/CR plays under modified OBR you could use the MLBUM referrence.

MLBUM

NOTE: The batter-runner is not prohibited from overrunning first base on a base on balls (i.e., the batter-runner may overrun first base on a base on balls and is not in jeopardy of being put out provided he returns immediately to first base). (See Official Baseball Rules 7.08(c)(EXCEPTION), 7.08(j)) and 7.10(c).)
