I also have two outs on this play ONLY IF R2 ran more than three feet past second base WHILE ATTEMPTING TO AVOID a tag, and this happened after R1 reached second. In this case, R1 is first out for passing R2; then, R2 is out for later leaving the basepath while attempting to avoid a tag.
If R2 is out before R1 reaches second, I will give R1 the benefit of the doubt that he didn't pass R2 before he was out; rather, R2 was at worst "at and to the side" of R1.
