I'd verbalize and indicate which runner is out and let play continue.
Now I truly have no idea what you're talking about. When did I say kill the play?

You're 2nd sentence is almost exactly what I said - call the batter-runner out and keep playing. Are you agreeing with me or disagreeing? I was disagreeing with Seattle's statement that you wait until play is over and THEN rule BR out. No - call him out when he's out, just like any other play.
