Ball Out of Play

You can only have one of two things; either a ball thrown out of play (and all runners advance two bases), or interference on the batter; dead ball and, depending on the number of outs, either R3 "Out"; R2 returns and the batter remains at bat or the batter is out for the 3rd out.

Do I have that right?

Assuming it was interference (it wasn't), R3 is out only if he's trying to score and the batter interferes (and there are fewer than two outs). In the play presented, I don't think R3 was attempting to score, so I'd have BR out.
