Points to be made:

The definition of a play is an attempt by the defense to retire a runner. Therefore, how can there be a play on a runner the defense has no opportunity to retire?

A runner "breaking for home" when the pitcher has the ball in the circle and the LBR is in effect is out. A pitcher making a "play" on that runner after she left the base is irrelevant as at that point in time, the ball is dead.
