That said, a BB is still a live ball and a runner can run past first base and try for second in an attempt to draw a throw.

No big deal as long as whoever reads it interprets it the same way as the person who wrote it.
Be careful. While you cannot overrun first (no try for 2B) on a walk in FED, you can in OBR and NCAA.
