Balks that become pitches follow this train of thought:
1) Did the batter-runner AND all runners advance one base on the play?
1a) If yes, ignore the balk
1b) If no, apply the balk
In your situation, it's a balk. R2 advances. Count is still 3-1.

Whoops. I can see an umpire doing this, though. "Coach, your runners advanced TWO bases. I have to enforce the balk."

IRL, I've overheard a coach respond to an umpire's explanation...."if the all runners advance a base"...with "But their guy advanced TWO bases!"
