Disagree with "starting when R1 approaches 2nd" because the out hasn't occurred at 1B yet. Remember R1 gets off the base on the release of the pitch and takes off when the bunt is laid down so she is already at 2B when the out is made. But as I said, I don't want to rush the call because I've seen F3s drop a ball that appeared to be caught, so I pause for a second or two and R1 is on her way to 3B. Yes, I should have gone home as soon as I made my call at 1B, but that "as soon" is not as soon as it would be on a base hit where there is no play at 1B and I would release for home much sooner.
