Any thoughts on covering that play?
Once the play at first is over, your responsibility is to cover home if your PU has rotated to third. U3 now has first and second.

On your play, the ball is still in the infield, so the next most likely play is at third base. PU is there to cover that. If there is a bad throw or bobble that allows the runner to attempt to advance, you should have had plenty of time to get to good position for a play at the plate.
