It would have to be a called strike (but not 3rd strike with two outs). Runner advancement would most likely be on a steal with further advancement on an overthrow of some sort. Options: strike on the batter (out if third) and runners have advanced, or ball and one base each.
Can you think of any others?

But does the OC have the option if the pitch isn't batted or the batter becomes a batter-runner?
