So many red herrings.

First, ignore the balk. BR reached first. R1 is awarded at least second on the obstruction (that's an advance); R2 reached third before injury; R3 reached home (twice).

Ignore the catcher's interference. Same reason: everyone advanced one base.

R2 can push R1 cause they are runners, not base coaches (and its happening at second, not first or third).

BR passes R1 after passing first. BR's out.

R1 can drag BR (who's still out)

R2's contact with the coach is incidental, and not an action by the coach to move R2 to or from third. His verbal pleadings are irrelevant.

R3 crossed home. If I saw R3 touched the plate, game ends immediately when runner scores. Rule 4.11(c) Hotdog and coke.

Assume R3 didn't touch home. I didn't call time (and didn't say anything), so R3 can return from the dugout and retouch home causes its still live ball. He retouches home, game is now over. He doesn't need to retouch third because F9 didn't catch fly ball. I don't care care about R1 or R2 unless they were both out before R3 retouched home
And they aren't even close to being out until later.
