Rules question

[GalliaGrad78]

In today’s game between the Reds and Pirates, Reds batter Dietrich was intentionally hit by a pitch. I scuffle ensued with players being ejected. My question is that when play resumed, the hit batter was still at bat, and subsequently struck out. Why was the hit batter not awarded 1st base?

The incident that you're referring to, you must have seen incorrectly. The pitch was thrown behind the batter and he was not hit, therefore, it was a ball.

You are correct, I looked again, and indeed he was not hit by the pitch. Thanks
