I pause my out call long enough to make sure that F3 isn't going to drop the ball and the runner is nearly to third when I notice where she is. U3 is at second and PU is at third where he should be. Runner makes no attempt to go home, but if for some reason she did, I was nowhere near home plate. So normally in 3 man, U1 rotates home when PU rotates to third, but, U1 doesn't normally have to stay near 1B as long as I did. Any thoughts on covering that play?

The highlighted line is a little confusing.
PU needs to take this runner home. Since there was no play at 3B s/he should not have needed to commit to 3B. The only negative is that the PU must be aware s/he cannot move into a position between F3 and the plate
