Passing

Runner on first with 2 outs.  BR hits a deep fly ball.  F8 leaps and appears to catch the ball but the ball pops out of his glove as he hits the wall and goes over the fence for an apparent home run.  R1 having gone 3/4 of the way to second base thinks the ball has been caught and heads back to first.  BR rounds first and passes R1 momentarily before R1 corrects his direction.  If we have the guts to call the BR out for passing which would be the third out of the inning, does R1 score if he continues around the bases legally?  Or, is this a timing play?
