No matter what you say in this situation, there is a 50/50 chance a player may react in a manner you didn't expect to a verbal call.
I was taught (and granted it was years ago) that if there was any subsequent play, I would continue with the play and then go back to this misplay with a call (i.e., tag with glove no ball and then a throw to 2B. I'd make the call at 2B then turn back toward the misplay, point at the runner and say something along the lines of, "no tag, safe".
