ASA does not rule people out for abandoning a base, base line, base path or anything else until they have left the field of play, or possibly assisted back toward a base.

Such a specific answer is always appreciated: BR is not out until she leaves the field of play or is assisted toward a base. Until one of those occurs, she can advance to 1B after an uncaught strike 3 with 2 out.

So the BR can walk from the batter's box out to left field, accept her glove from a teammate, get into fielding position, and as long as nobody has yet interfered with the ball, run to 1B.

Thanks. I'm glad to know what to call.
