Here's what I saw:
The PU never bothered to get into any sort of position to look for a running lane violation (his next responsibility, after the force out). Yeah, he needed to still be behind the dish, as there was a runner coming toward third, but he needed to move to his left, and look down the barrel at first, IMO.
U1 stuck his left hand out, for some reason, as the ball got away.
The ball, the runner and F3 mitt all came together right at the bag. Hard to call any sort violation there. If the runner had been in the lane the entire time, then moved over to hit the bag, again IMO, you'd have the same situation.
It was really a "blink of an eye" situation, with no clear call to be made. Even slowed down, it was tough to make a judgement.
