Exclamation

Ok, had a pretty intense game tonight with a strange situation that I think I got right but want your opinion.
Pitcher on the rubber, as she brings her hands together the batter holds up hand asking for time and steps out of the box.....The pitcher had seperated her hands just as the batter stepped out of the box and brought her hands back together and then delivered the pitch.
I had signaled delayed dead ball on the double pump of the hands but then called a strike on the batter after the pitch was delivered.
In my judgement, the batter's actions precipitated the illegal pitch, thus I ruled a strike.
If the pitcher had not delivered I would have had a "no pitch" as did happen twice in the same game.

You opinions please.
