Welcome, bushfire. As "fair" as that might sound, you'd have a hard time finding support for that position in the rule book.
So, I guess if the pitcher throws a truely wild pitch that goes behind the batter & outside the box, and the batter, attempting to avoid the pitch, backs out of the box and into the pitch, then there is no award, since she was out of the protected zone of the batters box?
