Please clarify what "god" rule you are using...

Usually I think of 10-1 as the "god" rule. But 10-6-C seems to fit better.

If the rule you are referring to is 10-6-C (reversed call putting offense or defense in jeopardy), then the umpire must "put things right" within his judgment.

Since it is an umpire call reversal, the PU's judgment is what counts. Using the OBS rule as the model here, since the underlying assumptions seem to fit - by that I mean the umpire must reconstruct the outcome of the play that would have occurred, in his judgment, had the dead ball not been called, then ... Mike's answer seems right. It seems clear the defense would have recorded one out, and it seems clear that R1 would have scored and BR would have reached 1B while they were chasing down R2. R2 out. R1 scores. BR on 1B. Play ball.
