8.05 Penalty
The ball is dead, and each runner shall advance one base without liability to be put out,
unless the batter reaches first on a hit, an error,
a base on balls, a hit batter, or otherwise,
and all other runners advance at least one base, in which case the play proceeds without reference to the balk.
