Options for the offence:

Did the batter become a batter runner in your example?
NO.
No choice, send the runner back to second and award a ball.
NFHS 6-2-2
EXCEPTION: If the pitcher
completes the delivery of the ball to the batter
and the batter hits the ball fair or foul, or becomes a base runner, the coach of the team at bat shall have the option of the result of the play or the penalty for an illegal pitch. A delayed dead ball will be signaled by the umpire by extending the left arm horizontally.
