Brother Steve.. I would think leaving the basepath IS abandonment... there is no "leaving the basebath" penalty is there (I mean, without the abandonment part).
But to the PLAY.. my first thought was that once R2 touched 2nd and went PAST (toward CF or 1st it don't matter).. then I am calling R1 out for PASSING the runner. (Neat, passing while standing still).
THEN.. I'm gonna decide about the guy running toward CF... based on the verbage of the play.. I'm gonna call TWO outs! Of course, you had to be there.
