No.

BU will take responsiblity for the third base half only until PU gets into position to take it all. PU will say, "I've got it all" and BU will bounce back to take responsibility for R1. Should R1 make it to second without a play and the rundown continues, BU will bounce back to take the third base half of the rundown again.

Also, should R3 make it safely back to third before R1 does anything, BU will assume responsibility for him again and PU will beat feat for home.
