So if she advances past 1B, is it correct that she's not actually legally advancing, and cannot be put out? Is the ball dead due to the IP, or alive because a batter-runner is permitted to advance after a walk?
NCAA rules might be silly sometimes, but they often have the "what-if" scenario covered. Unfortunately there are two applicable what if scenarios listed that may apply.
The calling umpire is to wait to suspend play until the non-contacted pitch has reached the plate, or the play has been completed.
10.8 Effect #1: if the batter reaches 1B safely, and any other runners advance, the play stands and the IP is cancelled. (BR in jeopardy of being put out.)
10.8 Effect #4: If ball four is an IP, the BR is awarded 1B, and any other runners are advanced one base. (BR not in jeopardy of being put out, ball is dead.)
I think the intent of the rule is that #4 applies here, and we kill it after the non-contacted pitch, even if the IP/ball 4 is a wild pitch. I might be wrong.
