The two runs should have scored. Although the batter is out at second,
the other runners rounded the bases at their own risk and therefore should
be allowed to score. The ball is not out of play until the pitcher has the ball on the mound and then throws to a certain base to make an appeal play. This
differs from a grounds rule hit, where the ball is declared dead (i.e. it
leaves the field of play, or it is touched by a fan, etc.)
