The TV announcer sounded surprised went the runner's countinued to run as no one signaled fair/foul. Was U3 correct in what he did? What is the correct rotation in this situation?

1) Initial decision by U3 not to chase probably wrong.
2) Since U3 didn't chase, he did the next best thing, he cleared the line so PU could see. PU now responsible for fair/foul; since you didn't see him, I wonder how you determined "no one signaled fair/foul"?
3) With U1 counter-rotated, U3 doesn't rotate to 2nd on this play. His next play, if any, is B3 into 3rd.
