"Note: In baseball, it is supposedly theoretically possible to have two runners occupy a base if the defense does not play on them and merely pitches to the next batter. Don't expect to see that play next time you turn on the TV, however. Softball is probably a different story, but I don't know. This hasn't come up to my knowledge."
That question has been posed in other groups, and answered for ASA by the NUS. It isn't an out, it isn't a lookback violation if the pitcher holds the ball and makes no play, unless the BR foolishly retreats after stopping on 3B. If neither side reacts, call "time", and put BR back on 2B, the last base legally touched (since R1 owns 3B).
