I think the PU should let the play continue, because the BU may have seen the ball on the ground. If the catcher throws BR out on first, there's no dispute. But if BR reaches first safely, PU may ask BU for help as to whether the catcher cleanly caught strike three. If BU didn't get a good look at it, then PU simply upholds his ruling that the batter is out. But if BU clearly saw a strike three not caught, PU corrects his call.
