When R2 retouched 2nd base and went beyond he actually placed himself in a position between first and second. (So to speak.) If R1 were not standing on 2nd base, R2 would need to retouch 2nd base to advance to 3rd. (For example, if the ball were thrown into the outfield.) Because R1 is standing on 2nd, he is out for passing R2. R1 is out because he is more than 3 feet from his base path when the defense is making a play on him. I go with BJ. Two outs, an ejection probably, and a beating in the local newspaper.
