I'll take a stab at it just for fun.

R1 and R2. R1 takes off on first move. Towering pop up near second base. R2 begins his retreat to second upon hearing the call of IFF. R1 fails to hear the call and rounds second passing R2. R2 is now hit by the ball before he gets back to second base.

BR out on IFF
R1 out for passing
R2 out for being hit with a batted ball

It's third world as all get out, but it would get the three outs without the defense touching the ball.
