OK, called an ASA official that I know and basically he said
"No call is the correct call" Only other call would be SS interference for impeding runner to third.
Was told after ball was hit and fielded by the pitcher the runner on second can stay there if he wants and does not have to move as long he does not "Intentionally interfere"
When the thrown ball hit the runner on second it is the same as if it hit him 5 ft or 25ft off the bag. Live ball and finish the play.
Of course if the SS fielded the ball and tagged him before tagging second he would be out.
