Mike's initial response said that it was the wrong call, though apparently not for the reasons you think it is.

If she was out of the batter's box, then by rule the batter has interfered and she is out. I think that this is the way that most are reading the OP's OP. However, if the batter merely took a step back, and the umpire felt that she was trying in no way to interfere, then there would have been a no call. Also, OP said batter, not BR.
