Base Award

Had this happen in a playoff game. Fed rules. 1 Out, R1, R2. Batter hits a fly ball to shallow Center. As the center fielder is settling under it, R2 is tagging and R1 is going 1/2 way. The center fielder drops the ball, picks it up immediately and overthrows 3rd before R2 had reached it. R1 had not reached 2B at Time of Throw, however B/R has attained 1B. Umpire rules R1 and R2 score and B/R gets 3B. I argue that at TOT R2 was still on 2b. He gets home and R1 should get 3B. What's the right ruling?

Of course, we lost by 1.
