Under OBR, that's an immediate dead ball (so the ball going out of play "never happened"), aand the BR gets 1B.

well, it's not an immediate dead ball in any case ! only if an IF has an "easy play" on the batted ball (J/R). what if the ball was hit into CF and F8 would have caught the ball after your time call ? ... award the BR first base ? that's an out !
