I do not work NCAA baseball, as such I'm not at all familiar with proper NCAA 2-man mechanics, coverages, and responsibilities.

I do know though that under pretty much any rule set as the BU my responsibility on this play is (as you point out) to: first, watch for the tag at 2B; second, watch for the release; and third, make the call at 1B.

So that I understand the mechanic correctly, where in the breakdown of the play in the OP listed below, should I be releasing from my responsibilities on at 2nd base on this play to the make the call at 1st base?

From the description in the OP of how the play evolved:
R1 on 1st
1)...grounder to SS who throws to F4...
2) who takes the throw on the backside of 2nd base (left field side)
3) R1 running hard toward second....
4) who then jumps toward second as F4 takes the throw touching the bag...
5) R1 lands with both feet on the bag and then goes down into a slide more or less over the bag...
6) and slides over and past it into contact with F4 who was just releasing the ball to first. (BR was safe)
