The actual wording in the OP is:
R1 on 3rd, R2 on 2nd. Batter hits up to the gap between Left & Center field.
That may have been a clean base hit, or it may not have been. We don't know. It may have been a fly ball with a possibility of a diving catch, in which case BU needs to watch R2 for the tag up (if less than 2 outs). But if it was a clean hit, or if there were already 2 outs, then yes, I agree that the BR touching 1B shouldn't be a particularly tough thing to see. But the OP was too scant with information to draw conclusions.
