Sorry, I don't get it.....why would R2 be out under any circumstance? If R1 is forced to 3B, how can he stay on 2B and make R2 vulnerable?
If the issue that I'm raising bothers you, I don't know what to say!! Everyone here seems to give a slightly different answer to the original question, and that proves my point that the issue is unclear!
I have to say, yet again, that someone is going to be out....instead of everyone (defense, offense, and umps)hanging around trying to figure out whose vulerable, who's safe, etc., why not just call the front runner (R1) out?

Because the situations are different. If the lead runner's not forced off the base by a batted ball, he's entitled to stay there. Then the other runner, when tagged would be out, but you could tag the lead runner out as much as you want and he would not be out.
You simply can't make things up. And opinions mean little -- the rules (properly read and interpreted) are what matter.
