It's not clear to me what happened on this play. After F2 tagged both runners, Jim Wolf (U3) pointed at R2 and signalled out. That's consistent with the rule: since R3 is still entitled to 3B, if they're both on the base then R2 is out.

But then R3 takes off for home, and before he's tagged Wolf is pointing at HIM and signaling out (you can read his lips, "he's out too!"). Wolf has him out before the PU bangs him out.

Why is he out too? When was he tagged? Couldn't have been before the tag of R2, or R2 would have been safe. That was odd.
