If a runner runs back past 2B into the right field territory and the ball is overthrown, do you simply let him run to 3B without retouching 2B? The same principle should apply here. What part of running the bases in order do you not understand?
Just so you know, the rest of us is you and you only. I don't need a casebook, this is pretty much textbook.

I'm with PW on this one.
If R2 is on third and R3 has not scored, is not between home and third nor is he on third, then my logic tells me he is behind R2. R2 is out and R3 is at risk.
It's the most logical call, easiest to explain and therefore easiest to sell of all the options available. Gets my vote
