Runners on third and second. Squeeze play. The batted ball hits R2 after R3 reaches home plate.
Will R3 return to third? or he "legally touched home at the time of the interference"?  |
You missed "unless otherwise provided by these rules."
7.08f: Any runner is out when—He is touched by a fair ball in fair territory before the ball has touched or passed an infielder.
The ball is dead and no runner may score, nor runners advance, except runners forced to advance.
