Good Question

I haven't done any research but at first blush I'm thinking that I should give the offense both the batter runner to 1st and bring the runner from 3rd to home.

I would likely discuss this with my partner before anything happens. If this illegal pitch is from out of the blue (no precedent) and the illegality is that the pitcher's foot "might" have been an inch in front of the rubber... I would likely only award the Hit By Pitch. If the illegality is something that the pitcher has continuously been doing and has been warned about or is an obvious/blatant action outside the rules give the offense both awards.

I'm going to do a little rulebook research...
