R3 is not entitled to 2B. As a result of LBR, R1 and R2 committed to their respective entitled base. R3 is obligated to return to 1B in a reasonable time period. R3 is called out and play resumes.
R3 can not legally advance on the play as described and Rule 8.7T can be enforced.

Speaking ASA.
#1. Please show me in 8.7.T where is says the runner must be on THE base to which they are entitled.
#2. Rule 8.3 states that when two runners occupy the same base, the runner not entitled is out
when touched with the ball. Therefore, to put the runner out, the defense must tag them off the base to which they ARE entitled. However, to do so, would constitute a play on the runner.
#3. Casebook 8.8.66 supports calling time and returning the runner to 1B.
