No chance for 3 outs.

As F4 tosses to F6 covering 2B, R2 re-starts running towards 2B.
1B Coach is hollering "Break it Up, Break it Up!"
R2 gets forced out easily, but as F6 attempts the double play at 1B, but R2 who is now about 10 feet from 2B, raises her hands hindering the throw.

Bottom line: A retired runner commits INT (obviously intentionally) for the purpose of preventing a double play.

Can we get three outs here?
1. R2 forced at 2B
2. R1 out [ASA 8.7.P]
3. BR out [ASA 8.7.J.2] ( which I have a problem with the way it is written)

Or... are #2 and #3 mutually exclusive?

What say ye?
In my opinion you could only get a second out if the actions of R2 prevented the defense from getting an out on B3. The way the OP is worded with R1 stopping then starting again I'm having doubts about the ability of the defense to get the second out at 1st base. I have been known to be wrong though.
