Just to clarify "abandon" (OP's words) in this case.
6.09(b) Comment: A batter who does not realize his situation on a third strike not caught, and who is not in the process of running to first base, shall be declared out once he leaves the dirt circle surrounding home plate.
Note that this is different than in FED where the BR is not declared out until he enters dead ball territory (in most cases, the dugout or bench area).
