Exclamation Balk Ball Not Dead !?

"Pitching
· The ball is always dead on a balk. FALSE in professional baseball and softball . . . "


Huh? Am I missing something here?

From OBR:

5.09 The ball becomes dead and runners advance one base, or return to their bases, without liability to be put out, when—
. . .
(c) A balk is committed; runners advance; (See Penalty 8.05).


Seems to me that the ball *is* dead.

Softball is a different story. There is an "illegal pitch" which has its own set of rules.
