I'll be honest, I like to consider myself pretty knowledgeable about rules, but once ball 4 is awarded, the play is dead. Nothing is live.

False. When a batter walks, and the catcher throws down to 1st, that batter better turn out or stay on the bag. If he hits first and turns in, the first baseman can tag him and he's out. Happens all the time in high school ball...but usually by college batters know better.
