I'm being kind of lazy. Here's what I posted on the eteamz site:
So far as I can find, neither Fed nor ASA cover this situation in their books. But the NCAA does. I'm also looking at this year's rule differences covering ASA, Fed, and NCAA and this situation does not show up as a difference. That means that the effect is the same in ASA, Fed, and NCAA. It is possible that John Bennett missed this one, but he has taken great efforts to be very thourough. The result of an illegal pitch hitting the batter is that both penalties are enforced. All runners are advanced one base AND the batter is awarded 1B Rule 10, Section 8, Article b3 in this year's NCAA book. Score the runner from 3B and award the batter 1B.
