LBR Violation

So I'm working a massacre last night and even the massacring team wasn't very good. At this point it's about 12-0 in the 4th.

1-2 count on the batter with runners on 1 and 2. (Could have been loaded, don't remember for sure).

Pitcher throws a ball.
Runner starts down toward first. I double check my indicator and then say that's two. So she starts heading off. And a new batter comes up to the box. Well, I start to straighten this out and as I am the whole time, the runner at second is standing 4 feet off the base with the pitcher holding the ball.
Technically this is a LBR violation, though certainly not the intent of the rule.

So

1. Should the runner be called out in a good game?
2. With the other team needing all the help they can get do you take this one?
3. Is this a call that the PU can make?
