LARF,

The ball is dead, no pitch, runners advance one base without liability to be put out.

Take a look at OBR 8.05 (m) PENALTY.

Tim.

PENALTY: The ball is dead, and each runner shall advance one base without liability to be put out, unless the batter reaches first on a hit, an error, a base on balls a hit batter, or otherwise,, and all other runners advance at least one base, in which case the play proceeds without reference to the balk.

....how can the batter take ball 4 and proceed to 1B, or reach first on a hit, get hit, etc if its 'no pitch?'

its an immediate dead ball in FED.
