I think I would have ruled batter-runner interference, dead ball, BR out, no runners advance.

If runners advance, not two outs; and first base was occupied. So batter is out, never became a batter-runner.

Yeah, the OP doesn't say outs, so "B4 headed to dugout" is ambiguous. But does "Runners advanced" mean legally?
If not 2 outs, B4 is out on the K. But did she interfere with the catcher getting another out?
If INT, then KJump's "interference on B4 after being put out, and as such, the runner nearest home is also called out" would apply.
But then is B4 treated as a retired runner?

Looks like a good reason for 3 umpires.
