R1 is out at this point. Any subsequent action is irrelevant to this player's status.

but as F2 raises the glove off of R1's body, R1's arms contact the glove. R1 pulls on the glove as her momentum carries her past F2, where she touches HP. The ball comes out. BR advances to 2B when she sees the dropped ball.

Based on the assumption there is a possible play since R2 is attempting to advance, INT on a retired player, runner closest to home is out
