You Make the Call

I can see this situation happening in a single umpire middle school game, but in a state championship game, the PU would not have to leave the plate area to make this call and would probably notice (I would hope) the batters switching.

Sure, but just trying to get to the actual ruling that would apply.

I still stand by my solution above...haven't been convinced otherwise yet.

The problem with your solution is B2 has completed B1's time at bat; you can't bring a batter up with a count of x-3. So, if you are going to recognize the strike, it is B2 who has struck out, batting in place of B1.
