That said, a BB is still a live ball and a runner can run past first base and try for second in an attempt to draw a throw. 
No big deal as long as whoever reads it interprets it the same way as the person who wrote it. |
Be careful. While you cannot overrun first (no try for 2B) on a walk in FED, you can in OBR and NCAA.
