Since getting two outs is entirely a judgment call, I guess you could get two if that's what you judged.

I most likely would just have one out. A lot has to happen here before you can assume a double play would be turned! F4 still needs to make a good throw to second, F6 still needs to successfully make a catch and tag second bsae, F6 still needs to make a good throw to first and F3 still needs to make a catch and complete a tag of first, all before the batter-runner gets there.

The rule of thumb for me is that a double play is imminent and reasonably expected before awarding two outs.
