Base umpire kills the play having to called dead ball 3 times to finally stop play as the defense was trying to get R1 out at the plate.

What should be done with R1 as she was between 3rd and home when the play was killed? By the way she beat the throw home easily.
When we make this call, I like to make eye contact with my partner(s). PU may not have seen the OBS signal or heard you. Once they see my hands in the air, they will generally figure that something is up. If the players want to keep playing, no big deal. We killed it. We have all the time in the world to make the call.
