If appealed in NCAA (as in baseball, incidentally), the entire play is negated, and only the proper batter is out. In fact, it would be a disadvantage in NCAA to appeal batting out of order on this play, better to let the play stand. Just one out.

No, it may have been me who misspoke. She may not have mentioned NCAA.
And you are correct. NCAA is like baseball. In the play in question, it would behoove the defensive head coach in NCAA not to appeal the violation so that his/her team keeps the double play and nobody on base instead of the one out with B1 returning to first. Kinda like having the option to take the play or the penalty, like they do for other violations.
