The pitcher acknowledged the batter's decision to accept the out but in place of that take a ball.

As you said, you don't do slow pitch anymore, so you are thinking fastpitch.
In slowpitch, there is no option if the batter swings at an illegal pitch; the illegal pitch is made legal by the swing. Live ball, result of the play is the only possible result.
I agree with your solution for fastpitch, if the PU mistakenly allowed the next pitch to be thrown, then someone questioned the result.
