FED 8-2-7 reads:

ART. 7 ... A batter-runner who reaches first base safely and then overruns or
overslides may immediately return without liability of being put out provided he does not attempt or feint an advance to second. A player who is awarded first base on a base on balls does not have this right.

Another poster asked for the logic to this. The FED is not known for its logic. That is the way they want the rule stated and enforced.

In OBR & NCAA, it's okay (as Tim C. stated) for B1 to run through 1st base.
