Very good...
And it raises an interesting scenario... what if the runner reached the bench before the ball came down? Would the runner be out for abondoning the base and the batter still be up to bat at the start of the next inning?

Speaking ASA
No. Once the batter put the ball into play, they completed their turn at bat. If the runner is ruled out and the ball is caught, it is irrelevant. If the runner is ruled out and the ball is not caught, the BR if on first, for what it's worth.
