I think this is the consensus.
Definite mistake by PU to call an out when BR is eligible to run. Players (e.g., catcher) are responsible to know the rule and make the play anyway. No need to apply the jeopardy rule, even if ITUJ the defense would have gotten the out with a throw to 1st. BR remains safe at 1st.

Another point for consideration: Unless you're regularly working 12U rec ball, you will see that the overwhelming majority of catchers worth their salt will know to immediately come up with the throw after failing to catch the third strike with two outs. They won't be affected by a plate umpire erroneously calling the batter out. If one does, shame on her.
