The RF was running full speed toward the wall with his back to the infield. Freeman should've been a few steps off the bag. If the RF catches the ball and all his momentum going away from the infield, Freeman easily could've gotten back to 2nd and tagged with his speed.

This.
Also, what does it matter if Cole Freeman is on 2nd or 3rd with 2 outs, assuming he catches it? It will take a base hit for him to score regardless. The only negative is missing the chance of scoring on a past ball.

The right fielder was worried about the wall too much. Most situations that would be caught and thrown back in. He was back peddling and looked silly trying to catch that ball and he just missed it. I had a pretty good vantage point. I'm not sure Cole could tell what was happening. That said I would have been half way to 3rd on that play.
