It doesnt matter if it was a scrimmage or not, its not your place to change his call....
NO!

We should never jump in on partner's judgement calls, as has been noted here numerous times.

But if partner is misapplying a rule (he wasn't here, but imagine if OP was the BU and a guy who knew the rule was PU), you MUST correct the situation. A base award like this sitch IS a rule, and if BU had given the runner 3rd, it should be corrected (the best way would be for PU to get BU together and have BU actually do the correction).
