Ruling:?
(FED -- the balk is an immediate dead ball, so ignore the pitch. R1, R2 become R2, R3).
(OBR -- since everyone advanced a base, ignore the balk. The appeal out stands. Since BR made the thrid out before first, no runs score.)

Wait a minute! I thought in OBR in order to ignore the balk, all runners must advance 1 base
and the BR
must attain 1st base. If the BR didn't attain 1st base, he returns to the plate and the runners are advanced TOP. NCAA should be the same.
