With the ball held in their bare hand, F4 touches R1 with their glove as R1 runs toward 2nd base and then throws the ball to 1st base for a play on the BR.  PU rules R1 out.

If an umpire loses the count on the batter, they can communicate to their partner in a non-verbal manner by placing both opened hands against the chest. Their partner can respond by providing the count with fingers on the chest. Similar to providing the count to the teams, balls will be indicated with the right hand and strikes with the left hand.
