If R3 from 1st enters the dugout first, then R2 from second is no longer a forceout when she enters the dugout. The third out would then be a timing play; did R1 touch home before R2 left the field?
Good point, I didn't think of that. Order of who entered the dugout would apply in the OP... makes it either a force out or a timing play. Good catch!
