R2 takes the linedrive (in air) right off his shoulder after trying to get out of the way. . .all the time R2 IS in contact with the bag. Ball ricochets off his shoulder, over the Right field fence and out of play. At the time the ball hit the runner, ball was fair
I know that R1 is not out - 8.8.M (contrary to the defensive teams plea's and arguements)
However, here comes the question on what to do next.
I decided to put the BR on 1st, R2 on 2nd and scored R1 from 3rd.

Well, scoring R1 was wrong.

After the game, i thought, what if the ball richoched off the bag and out of bounds, that would be a dead ball, GRD. . .so I think that BR on 2B and R2 on 3rd (scoring R1) would be the correct call.
Thoughts?

Yeah, what is "out of bounds"? This isn't football or basketball.
Yes, a fair batted ball which leaves the field of play is a GRD. The BR and all runners are advanced two bases from the TOP.
