There is OBVIOUSLY an attempted play there. Why isn't he calling the ballgame?

I don't disagree BU should have followed the ball to 1B. However, I believe it was already stated that the umpires saw a player at 1B, but maybe not the BR. This is an error, but 2 umpires cannot watch 3 runners the entire time without missing one of the plays, possibly the out.
