The one time a simialr situation happened to me, the batter looked at me quizically (while he was still in the box, just after receiving ball 4). I told him something like, "You need to touch first before the game is over".
I didn't tell him to run. I didn't coach him to first. I just stated a fact -- and the fact was avaialble to both teams (F2 now knew that if BR didn't go to first "something was wrong.")
I'd try to apply the same game management again.
