playing in a usssa tourney this weekend and this is what happened. man on first base with 1 out batter hits a scorcher to the right side which hits the runner advancing from first to second and glances off to my second baseman who fields the ball and races to first and beats the batter to the first base bag by 3 steps. how many outs do we have now?
Where was your 2B playing infront of or behind the runner?
You beat me to it. :)
Assuming that the defense was in a traditional format then the BR is probably out...but if the defense was "playing in" like they would do in a last inning one-run game then it is possible that there was no interference and R1 would be safe at 2B and the BR was out at first. In either case, you have one out as a result of the play the only difference is where is your other runner.

we were in a traditional defense, remember there was already one out. the correct answer is now we have 2 outs with the runner going to second being out on a dead ball and the batter is safe at first.

I think we are saying the same thing....what I said was that "you have one out AS A RESULT OF THE PLAY"...if you already had one out then you now have a total of 2 outs.
you make the call
