Not necessarily.
Depending on the situation and instructions from the manager, they might be off with the pitch, or they might go on contact, or they might wait and see. Since there is no force out at home, even with two outs it's not always a good idea to go charging to the plate. If the batter actually got an infield hit out of it, part of the reason might be because the runners did NOT go, and the only play the fielder had was to first.

"Beings will come, Frodo. The one constant through all the years has been baseball. Middle Earth has rolled by like an army of Mumakil. It has been erased like a slate, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Frodo. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... beings will come Frodo. Beings will most definitely come." - Gladden Field of Dreams
