I see three reasonable "corrections" here.
Is your correction to put the batter on first base ... and if so, does the next batter have an 0-1 count?
Or does the batter now have a 3-1 count?
(Personally, I think an umpire could justify any of the above. I believe I'd be putting the batter on 1st, no count on the next batter - that next "pitch" wasn't really a pitch - BR had not yet accepted her award, so all we really had was pitcher and catcher throwing the ball back and forth)
This does raise an interesting question... two really...
1) Does your answer change if it was strike three instead of ball four?
2) What do you do if batter hits that 4-1 pitch?
