This is a BIIIIIG stretch, but could the jeopardy rule apply here?
If the PU goes to the BU for help on the check swing and the BU rules a strike, the strike out should be the third out of the inning and B4s turn at bat is complete.
Would the initial "incorrect" call of a ball on B4 place the defensive team in jeopardy by having to pitch to B4 with no count at the start of the next inning?
Just thinking out loud (figuratively speaking), I can't think of any other way to accept the request for help on the check swing after the third out at second base.
