Actually, the more I think about it. I think I screwed the ol' pooch on this one.
The force on R3 was removed when R2 was hit by the ball.
Therefore, since he is no longer forced, R3 should be returned to 3rd base.
R1 advances to 2nd base due to being forced by the batter becoming a runner.
So the partner did rule correctly in sending R3 back to third.
PWL, you were right the first time! My bad. No runs should score, even with the bases loaded.
