B3 goes to second.

No, B3 is out because she did NOT complete her at bat.

If you take the "last person with a completed at bat" as you do above,

No... I don't. Alex does - my example was an attempt to show why that could be incorrect...

Mike, there is a slight difference in "not completing your at bat" and having a complete turn at bat: B3 was out for NOT BATTING. That gave her a complete turn at bat...

Think about the logic behind the rule.
What we are trying to avoid is to have a runner on base when it is their turn to bat.
By using the batter preceding the one who is due up, the odds are reduced to the minimum.
