Erasing lines in batters box? (NCAA)

Situation: 1st Inning, third batter comes to the plate. While the pitcher is getting ready, the batter "digs in" by swiping out all the loose dirt from the RH batter's box with her foot, completely obscuring the outside line in the batter's box. The batter does not move the chalk with her foot, only lots of dirt. The line is no longer visible for the majority of the batter's box.

Is this an automatic strike per 11.2.4? If so, what is the mechanic for calling this?
