I cannot speak directly to the ASA rulebook, but most all rules state similarly about the batter-runner going to first base. However, they also state that if runners are to be safe at subsequent bases, they must reach the base PRIOR to being put out, hence the "tie" would go to the defense.

But that's all irrelative since "ties" do not really happen. Oh, it may appear so to the mere mortal player or fan. However umpires have superhuman skills allowing us to analyze time segments far beyond milliseconds and nanoseconds, down to a level where we are able to see you actually arrived first.
