Since the umpires killed the play, no player can be tagged out. The umpires would have to return R2 to 2B and move on.

If there is anything the umpires should have done, it was "nothing" until the defense made the proper play or it was obvious they were going to make no play at all.

If protested, move R2 back to 2B and continue from that point.
