Once again, "She was only doing what she's supposed to do" rears it's ugly head. The rules do not say that.
When in doubt, I believe most umpires (self included) award the base. The sitch in the OP is a perfect example of when we shouldn't. Turning to minimize the pain on a pitch that can't be avoided is one thing. Turning to get hit by a slow pitch that is completely avoidable (and worse, turning to get hit by a pitch that was not going to hit her in the first place) should not be awarded a base.
