<del>Based on what I'm reading, the rule is still the same: The batter will be awarded a ball, and the runner(s) will be awarded one base. National Pro Fastpitch got rid of the base award for runners, and from what I understand, the NCAA is considering doing the same. If the NCAA does change the rule, it won't happen before the start of the 2020 season.</del>

I royally misread the rule. It has changed. My bad, CajunAmos.

I have no idea how I misread the rule or how I missed the bold and underlined words, but I did. My fault. You are correct, sir.
