C'mon, that's easy:
8.05 If there is a runner, or runners, it is a balk when:
(d) The pitcher, while touching his plate, throws, or feints a throw to an unoccupied base, except for the purpose of making a play.
If you judge that it was a bona fide attempt to make a play (NOT including "driving the runner back"), then no balk.
