Overrunning 1B

Ok so my partner & I were talking tonight inbetween games, and he brought up some things (all are under OBR):

1) He said that a BR overrunning first base on a base on balls is liable to be put out (I know this is untrue according to J/R and the MLB Umpire Manual)

2) A BR is liable to be put out after overrunning 1B if "no play is being made on him"

I said both of these are wrong....I cant find any references/support for the second one though. Help please? And am I right on both?

Thanks.
