8-8 RUNNER IS NOT OUT
ART. 10... The runner is not given sufficient time to return to a base. The runner will not be called out for being off the base before the pitcher releases the ball. EFFECT: "No pitch" will be called by the umpire and the runner(s) will be permitted to return to the proper base(s) without penalty.

In a way I feel putting the runner back at the previous base "cheats" the runner is she was trying to advance. However, it is the batter's fault for taking her position.
