So B2 batting in B4's spot is negated and B4 is out. Next batter is B5. ("If B4 does not take a pitch...")

Ultimately, this is what I was looking for 7-1-6

When several batters bat out of order, a runner will not be removed from a base to assume their proper batting position.
If a player is on base when their position in the batting order is reached, they will miss their turn at bat with no penalty.
Well, for starters, the wrong batter is NEVER declared out for BOO, the player who failed to bat is declared out.

You are making more of this than even remotely necessary. You have been given the correct responses a couple times now.
