Since the BR and all runners did not advance a base, enforce the penalty.
The offensive coach can elect to take the result of the play, but would be unlikely to do so in your specific case. The coach might do so if R3 scored while BR was thrown out at first (under the "a wild pitch is a play" interpretation).
