Div II Colleges, R2 and R1 move with a ball hit into the deep RF gap. I saw both baserunners score "simultaneously," one right after the other. The first runner slid over the plate and stood up and screened the catcher (no contact) while the second runner slid in safely behind the first. Would have been a very close play at the plate on the second runner without the SHIELD. Yet, physically impossible if the first runner is expected to stop before the back edge of the plate.
DO Over.

Unless you saw one heck of a poor catcher or an errant throw there's no way he should have been screened by the first runner. With the ball in right center he would have been set up on the first base side of the plate just in fair territory to receive the throw. The first runner would have easily slid in behind the catcher and stood up well behind him.
