Don't have the books handy, but why "No Pitch"? If there was no "quick pitch", don't you simply have the runner off base (which, depending on age / jurisdiction, could be an out - its an out here.)? Sounds like it was the dawdling that was the problem. The pitcher should not have to wait indefinitely for the slow batter to return to the base.
