It looks to me that they got it right. If you look at the video, at least to me, it seems like Jim Joyce is saying it's not a balk, it's an illegal pitch. It looks like he says it several times in the video. Therefore, with a 3-2 count, the batter is properly awarded a ball for the penalty, in this case also 1B, because of the count, with R1 being sent to 2B.
