She rounds 1B and comes to a stop after three strides. As the runner is returning to 1B, the pitchers fakes a throw toward 1B and the runner stops. Seeing this, R1 sprints toward home. BU kills the play and rules the runner OUT on LBR prior to R1 touching the plate.
Is this the correct call?

Which runner is called out? The former B-R? Now called R2? And why was she called out? The LBR was temporarily suspended when F1 faked a throw. Did the BU allow enough time after F1 dropped her arm to re-instate the LBR?
IF YES, and R2 was standing still, then she is out by LBR violation - dead ball, R1 does not score.
Under that condition - call is correct.
