Once a run legally scores, it cannot be "unscored" by action of that runner who scored it (see Case Play 9.1.1 Situation B). So in your play, R1 scored legally, and cannot be subsequently put out. The defense should've played on one of the other two runners.
What should've happened: The PU should have LOUDLY called, "THAT'S BALL 3!" instead of just standing there with his fingers showing the count.
