Rule 7-5-A - (Fast Pitch) Effect...The ball is live
Rule 8-1-F - (Fast Pitch) Deals with the HBP

Thanks mdntranger !!!

Still not cut and dry, but between the 2 rules you can see how the
batter would be awarded 1st.

Thanks to all !!!

The reason you can't find a specific rule is there is none, therefore the same as any other pitch. If there was an exception, then there would be a rule taht said dead ball or whatever.
