I ask for assistants from the PU, in which is my UIC. UIC called batter-runner out.

Assuming from your post that when you stated you remained between 1st & 2nd and stayed with the ball you meant that you didn't move, but just followed the ball.
If so, try taking two steps toward 2B. Stay far enough away to see the big picture, but stay with the ball. After the 2 steps begin toward first, parallel to the base line, still watching the play to 2B. Make the verbal for the play at 2B, stay with the ball to 1B. Come to a stop, see the play and make the call.
Take steps, hustle, but don't run.
