If you're using the "Manual For the Two-Umpire System" put out by PBUC, you'll note that BU is in "B" with R1, R3.

As other's have noted, a fly ball to the left of the left fielder belongs to the PU. He apparently was confused when he told you he "couldn't go out." Nobody expects him to. He should line up the ball, keeping R3 in view. Then make the fair/foul, catch/no catch calls and observe R3's tag-up and be ready for a play at home.
