However, if you read 8.1.1 Situation B, and the rule it cites, you'll see that the casebook play and rule actually refer to a dropped third strike. Regardless of of what CC wrote, there is, I believe, a big difference between an awarded base (a walk) and a D3K. I don't think 8.1.1B is applicable in the OP situation.
