ok so we are saying a ground rule double, not a two base award from the time it went out of play. So R1 scores and R2 is on 3rd with BR on second. Which of course is different than the two base from point where it went out of play as R2 would also score on that!

Everybody but me seems to be getting there. I still think that this is a ball that is directed out of play not deflected. And I'd go with the latter.

If you're going to say the fielder intentionally put a fair ball into dead ball territory (without ever gaining control of it - lack of a legal catch), that is up to you. Be prepared for the fall out.

Why wouldn't you award both R1 (originally on 3rd) and R2 (originally on 2nd) home on a ground rule double?
