In ASA, isn't this a straight-up OUT. No appeal required. Ump has to call the out. Rule 8, Section 2, item D.
Rule 8, SECTION 2 – THE BATTER-RUNNER IS OUT..........
D. When a batter-runner fails to advance to first base and enters the team area after:
1. A batted fair ball.
2. (Fast Pitch or Slow Pitch with Stealing) A base on balls.
3. A dropped third strike.
4. Catcher Obstruction
Exception: (Slow Pitch) ……………………..
I would guess there will be some (maybe a lot) debate about "enters the team area" which she did not do, but she clearly failed to advance to first base and demonstrated she had no intention of ever doing so..
