Both ignored since all runners advanced at least one base during the subsequent action.
Quote:
- R1 is obstructed by F3 as he runs to second.
- R1 reaches second, where he and R2 both occupy the base, when R2 pushes R1 back towards first.
- The BR rounds first as R1 is retreating, and the BR passes R1.
- F9 misses the fly ball.

BR as trailling runner is out for passing R1 going the other way, once the fly ball is not caught. 1 OUT.
[OBR 7.08(h)] Type B obstruction protects R1 at least to 2nd.
Quote:
-R1 retouches, and grabs the BR pulling him behind him. The two run the bases in tandem, the BR right behind R1.
- R2 tags up and begins running toward third.

"That's NOTHING!" Sorry, I couldn't resist!
Well it IS "nothing" if not stupid, but then no-one said baseball players had to be bright!
Quote:
- R3, who had crossed home and entered his dugout, re-emerges, retouches home plate, and retreats back toward third.

This is neither legal nor necessary. 1 run scored, and cannot be undone. Count 1 in - 1 out the moment R3 crossed home plate. "Game!" under OBR 4.11(c)
How'd I do?? (Careful. That's a trick question)
