Would you call a LBR violation?

What did F1 do in response to F3's calling for the ball? Was it enough motion to be considered "making a play" (ASA: caused the runner to react). If F1 is just standing there looking confused, LBR violation. If F1 is beginning to make the play, not a LBR violation.

If playing action has ceased, yes. This is not using the LBR to aid the defense, the runner committed the base-running violation and found herself stranded and unable to correct her error.
