| Jay,
This play was put to much discussion recently. I am not OPA ump but here is the general just of the play.
The rules state clearly that once a trailing runner has touched home plate the preceeding runner leagally may not return to touch home plate on a miss the first time by. The crux of this rule also requires that the offended team must make an appropriate appeal on the missed home plate touch by R1. As nothing was appealed both runners would be safe. If there had been a appeal on R1 missing home plate by the defence, then R1 should be ruled out at that point.
Hope this helps. If you want the exact rule for this please repost your request and we will give it to you.
