LBR applies to all baserunners

Why isn't catching the ball in flight off the bat receiving the ball in the circle?
You might interpret the act of catching the ball as making a play on the runner but you will never sell that to a coach.
I am thinking that this is one of those situations that rule writers did not account for.
Consequently one blue might apply LBR to the runner and ring her up and another might see the tag up as continuous action to second base.
I would be anxious to read what IM, AUS, and WMB say about the different rulesets.
I am amazed that she went to second with the ball in the circle.
