Back and forth between 3rd and home a few times. Finally, R3 dives back to 3rd base. During the rundown, R2 has run to 3rd base. Now, both players occupy the base. Although I did not see a tag, there must have been one because R3 was the player called out (if there had not been a tag, R2 should have been called out if I understand the rule correctly). I did not see an explanation from the umpire, although there was a small discussion between him and the third base coach. Just wondering if anyone else saw the play.

Fixed the designations.
If there was no tag no one is out.
Tag both. R2 should be the one out unless R3 stepped off and was then tagged.
If there are two runners on a base the trail runner is out when tagged
UNLESS the lead runner was forced in which case he is the one who is out when tagged .
