My thinking is that this is the U1's call as he is in position to see that play clearly and you are correct, he never makes a call on it. I hadn't noticed that before.

U3 is on the line during this play. He has no responsibilities at second base during this play. He could conceivably call interference if R1 had hindered F6 from catching the deflected ball, but that's pretty much it. His only primary responsibility is to watch base touches at third base, and secondary responsibilities would be to watch other plays to help if required.
