Is and in what rule book does it have the rule, "A tie goes to the runner?

As others mentioned there is no rule, but here's a rule of thumb.

If the defense makes a great play, (ie; F6 makes a great play in the hole) and it's real close at first give benefit of doubt to defense and record the out, however,

If the defense doesn't field ball cleanly or the player is lazy on a routine ball, and B1 is busting it out down the first base line, then give benefit of doubt to offense. In other words, reward a good play either way.
