Call the girl back out of the dugout with a 2 strike count. Send B2 back to the on-deck circle.
Technically by the rule? NO, but in the spirit of play lets just get the batter back up and go on with the game.

That's the easy way out, WMB. And, also no fun for us here on an umpire board!
So, assume this was the varsity state championship game.
What then?

Enjoy the rest of the game....because it's probably the last state championship game you'll ever do!
I can see this situation happening in a single umpire middle school game, but in a state championship game, the PU would not have to leave the plate area to make this call and would probably notice (I would hope) the batters switching.
I still stand by my solution above...haven't been convinced otherwise yet.
