Play: With two outs, runners on 2nd and 3rd, and a 3-2 count on the batter, the batter swings and misses. The ball is completely missed by the catcher and sticks in the umpire's mask. The base runners both score and the batter makes second, before the ball can be dislodged.

It is a lodged ball. It is dead immediately. Because it was the pitch, the batter and all runners are awarded only one base. The batter to first, R2 to third, and R3 scores, and still two outs.
If the answer in the game was any different, I'd have no explanation.
