If the base umpire thought the runner might be injured: Rule 4, sec 10 "During a live ball situatuion, when a player becomes injured,and in the umpires judgement requires attention, the umpire shall call 'dead ball' and award any bases that would have been reached." Runner was on the base can not be called out, therefore stopping play and awarding the rummer 2nd and the BR 1st is the right call.
