The base umpire kills the play and awards the base runner the base she was going to (3rd base), and the batter runner 1st base. Neither team complained.

I thought this was the propper call, but can't find any rule to support this. Any help?
Umpires can remedy problems we cause; but I don't see the reason for the BR award.
