We've Now Got 2 Outs.
Roger,
Whether the ump yells "batter is out" is irrelevant in the situation you described. The Batter is "Out" on the strikeout. Call R3 out for abandoning his effort to advance; it's also irrelevant if he thought he was out on the force out. He didn't touch home plate to score, and you have no basis for returning him to 3rd base UNLESS you judge that the BR ran to 1st base to confuse the defense; in which case you can call offensive interference and advance all runners one base.
