Answer
Hi Steve,

when the batter hits a ball they become a batter-runner (b-r)  in this case the b-r is awarded 1st and any other runners advance only if forced.  Also in this case the runner on 1st is awarded 2nd because the b-r goes to 1st.  If there was also a runner say on 3rd they would stay on 3rd.
