So wrong.

So ... Runners on first and third, 2 outs. R2 heads for second base, but holds up as the throw comes in. R2 is tagged, 1 second later, R1 scores, and 1 second after that, the BU (perhaps there was a "show me the ball!!! or somesuch) rings up R2.

Run or no run?

The out occurs WHEN IT OCCURS, not when the umpire announces it. Read your rule again.
