Illegal Pitch Award Question

[jrp]

I am a newbie... If there is a better board to use, please suggest.

I am wondering about awards for Illegal Pitches. From reading the Pony rules, it seems that the normal award is to call the pitch a ball. But somewhere it reads that the batter is awarded first base, and all runners are advanced 1 bases without liability.

Someone set me straight. Reading the Pony rulebook is making me very very cross-eyed.
