dropped 3rd strike question

2 out. r1 on 1st. 2-2 count on b2. dropped 3rd strike, r1 over runs 2nd base and gets tagged out for 3rd out before b-2 reaches 1st.
Does this count as an at bat by b2, or does b2 lead off in the next inning?

It is a completed turn at bat. Assuming you mean B2 is the batter in the two hole then the three hole starts the next at bat.

is this rule interpretation in the book anywhere?

The batter became a batter-runner with the D3K Rule 8-1-B. Definition of batter-runner found in Rule 1 states batter-runner is a player who has COMPLETED a turn at bat but has not yet been put out or reached first base.

The " became a batter-runner " concept is important for all of us and several rules.
