As both TEE and Rich pointed out with R1/R2 the PU covers third base on the tag UP UNLESS it's a CLEAR CUT Single which from the OP it was not.
Here is what has me puzzled
You say APPARENTLY BU Ruled. What's that! Either we have a catch or no catch. We do not have a MAYBE.
Based upon the STRICT wording of your OP it appears NOTHING was called because of your phrase APPARENTLY BU ruled. Therefore, EXACTLY what happened on this play? Was a call on the catch / no catch EVER made?
If R1 was doubled off with an apparent no call on the catch / no catch where was the OM because surely he is going to get tossed.
IMO, once we KNOW what happened then perhaps your question about what to do can be answered more effectively.

Pete,
No signal was ever made on catch no catch. The runners, defense and base coaches did not know what to do. The only call which was ever made was the base umpire calling R1 out at first. This is why I say "apparently" caught the ball. The OM showed incredible restraint for a Senior Legion manager (heck a LL OM would be ticked off).
