Balk Call

I only do summer baseball and I am by no means a "Balkologist". Last night Cal Ripken tournament R1 on first. Pitcher comes set, R1 takes off to second and before the pitch the pitcher spins and throws to second base.

R1 now gets tagged out between 1st and 2nd. I am on bases and I initially call the runner out. Offensive coach questions that it should have been a balk.
I get together with my partner and reverse the out and call a balk because the pitcher did not step back off of the rubber and threw to an unoccupied base.

Correct?
