Illegal pitch, ball 4 - BR advances and is put out
NCAA JUCO fall ball. I am PU. No base runners. 3-0 count, my partner calls an IP. The pitch is called a ball. The BR ran to first and rounded the base. While there was a play on her, she was not put out.
It got me thinking: on an IP for ball 4, if the BR is put out running after the base on balls, the offense would have the option to take the play or accept the penalty, in which case the BR would be awarded 1B. Correct?
