Do you have your runner's straight? R1 = the runner who was on 1st at thestart of the play. R2 on second and R3 on third. So the order they approach the plate is R3, R2, R1.
No, R2 can't return after R1 has touched.
7.10(b) APPROVED RULING: (1) No runner may return to touch a missed base after a following runner has scored.
If R2 is the third out, only R3's run counts. If it wasn't the third out then both runs count.
