Speaking ASA
Bases loaded, one out. B4 hits a fly ball to the outfield. R2 and R3 were off with the hit. R3 misses 2B on the way to third and R2 has passed R1 who was holding the base for a tag-up. F8 makes a diving effort, but traps the ball. R1 scores easily, but thinking the ball was caught, R3 stops and returns to 1B touching 2B on the way back.
Approaching 1B, R3 notices R4 standing on the bag as F8 throws to F4 to appeal R3 missing 2B.
The ruling should be.............
