I see this as a play by the pitcher, and if the runner was between bases I'd definitely drop the LBR. Since the runner is on 1st at this point, I wanted to hear your feedback. Does a "play" (assuming you consider this a play) release the runner from the base?
This video gave me the clearest answer about the LBR rule question I had from the game with the "experienced" umpire I worked with. The portion of the video in question from 16 to 30 seconds was almost a carbon copy of what he called out as the BU.
