To answer the OP, I would allow it in an ASA game, but if it was an NFHS game using the ITB, I would not allow it. I wouldn't consider the runner to have had earned her way on base.

Thanks, Mark, that's the difference I was looking for.
PONY has not added that NFHS wording, so a CR in that case in PONY would be ok.
