Playing the other side for a second...

Ok, Blue... according to your interpretation, if the runner broke for 2B, and 1B was not occupied at the time of the pitch, then why didn't you call the runner out for leaving the base early? If that's the case, why wasn't the pitch declared a no-pitch? That means you wouldn't have a D3K, right?
