This is correct. I had almost the exact thing last weekend. With R2, I thought a low pitch grazed the batter, called Time as the ball went to the backstop. It rebounded back to F2, but R2 had already reached 3rd, so there was no possible play. Both the batter and F2 said that the ball didn't hit the batter, so I reversed the HBP and left R2 at 3rd, much to the displeasure of F2.
