Without the specific rule, you might have one out for one runner passing the other. We also have the rule that puts a batter or runner out for USC (BR throws bat in anger, ball goes over fence, BR still called out; or runner slides safely into 3B but throws an elbow into F5's face: runner out). If each runner has committed USC, they both could be called out.
Yeah, I understand the reasoning for calling the outs. I'm not sure why, if you're using the USC the to call the outs, you would not have to eject all three. It kinda sounds like they're waffling on the subject. You shouldn't be able to use the "...passing the lead runner ..." rule because it's a dead ball situation when they "passed" each other.
