Greymule,
Since R3 advanced to 2nd safely, R2 was forced to advance to 3rd since he could no longer safely return to 2nd. If R3 had been put out at 2nd, the force on R2 would bave been removed, since 2nd base would now be open. The fact that R3 was put out attempting to advance to 3rd has no bearing on the force play on R2, the fact that R3 was safe at 2nd forced R2 to advance to 3rd.
