I know of no SP rule set that would award 1B on a HBP. And it would be completely unnecessary for such a rule in SP; the batter has plenty of time to avoid being hit, and even if hit, there is little danger of physical harm. All that can be done is call a ball or a strike (if the pitch entered the strike zone). In the OP, it seems to me that the umpire must have been a FP (or possibly BB) umpire that wasn't aware of all the differences with SP.
