After a live batted ball is put into play, three runners manage to simultaneously end up on second base: the runner who started at second base, the runner who started at first base, and the batter-runner.

Who is Fernando Rodney? (Shoutout Rodney Paul)
With a full count on the batter, the bases loaded, and two outs in the inning, the runner on third base breaks for home as the pitcher begins his windup. After the runner crosses home plate safely, the ball delivered from the pitcher hits him in the helmet, two feet above the ground directly over home plate. As the runners on base attempt to advance and the batter breaks for first base in the event of a dropped third strike ruling, the ball ricochets out of play into the Home Team dugout. This is the amount of runs that score on the play.

After secondary contact, the ball comes to rest in fair territory, and the batter reaches first base safely before any of the fielders touch the ball. What is the ruling?
