Reply To: Is batter/runner protected past 1B after a base on balls according to NFHS rules

    In NFHS the batter-runner is allowed to over-run or over-slide first as long as they don’t attempt to advance to second. This includes a base on balls. They changed this rule at the start of the 2018 season. Personally I think it gives extra help to the umpire from teams being silly.

Don't strike out!
