Apparently, no.

As posted in another forum, the definitive answer is Rule 8.5.C.3 for Question 5 on this year's ASA test.

The ball's status on a pitch remains so. This was the thrust of my original post on the matter. While I'd prefer this to be a 2-base award, it's clear that ASA defines the award as 1 base.
