I think you might need to go back to Ron Luciano and his philosophy on this one. "Always punish the team that caused the problem."
Defense failed to make/receive a clean pitch, dropped strike.
B/R attempts to run to 1st per rule.
Ball stays live, defense must make the play from where the ball is.
Unless you have judged the "kick" to be intentional. Then B/R would be out.
This is not a batted ball but rather a thrown ball. Batters and/or runners are not out when hit by a thrown ball unless they commit interference.
