Softball scoring help

Question
I am an amatuer scorekeeper and statistician for our 12U girls fastpitch team. A question came up and I am hoping you can answer it. With a runner on base, the pitcher throws a ball in the dirt which I rule a wild pitch. The runner on first advances to the next base. I have just marked WP. Our coach says I should give credit to the base runner as a stolen base and also denote the wild pitch. Our coach is not a parent amatuer, but a seasoned coach. Anyway, I just want a clarification as I thought a stolen base was really a "base stolen not given in error".
thanks,
Gary

Answer
Hi Gary,

Looks like your correct.

In ASA 11-8 states " a stolen base is credited to a runner whenever he advances one base unaided by a hit, putout, force out, fielder's choice, passed ball, wild pitch , an error, illegal pitch or obstruction."

That should do it for everybody concerned.
