FED rules also award the runner a minimum of one base, theus JJ's question.
I think there was an interp in the past couple of years that clarified that the BR would be out, and not awarded first on the play. Before that, an overly-strict reading of the rules would have awarded first. I don't think anyone ever did this, though.
