Absolutely. His fly ball was caught prior to the INT, so the ball is live when this happened. Of course BR is out, that's what started this whole mess. Nothing illegal had happened at this point. BR is out when...(8.4.1.c) his fair hit or foul (...) is caught by a fielder,...
I'd have to agree with BigUmp on this one. Rules allow the option to get "another" out if IN YOUR JUDGEMENT the INT prevented a "double play." There is a possibility that R2 was advancing on the throw to home. A well coached offense would do just that, IMHO. Otherwise, Reznor has it right to put them back at the last legally occupied base.
So (BU quoted the rules), but BR out on fly ball to F7, R3 out on INT. R1 and R2 remain, unless you have the "DP" sitch to also retire R2 for the triple play (HTBT).
