Honestly, the interp that an abandonment call is a timing play only makes sense if it's done after the defense has also stopped trying to get the player out. If you wait until the defense is also not trying to get this player out, and then call abandonment - the run scores and there's no change necessary.
But if the defense is still playing the ball (or, as in the OP, throwing to 2nd to get the out), you can't call abandonment and then also rule it a timing play...
The OP is easy - a simple force out at 2nd.
