I've yet to find where it says in black and white that a walk is an award. It is however heavily implied by the case play and rule book.

I understand a walk is an award to the batter, but not the runners. If it were, a lone runner on 3B would score on a walk or HBP, and we all know that isn't gonna happen
That's why I was curious of the wording.
For as much as I know, ASA may want the same ruling. My supposition is based upon the rules available.
