If Grosso is the only one with a chance to beat Brown, all that matters is whether you cast your second vote for Brown or not - Beatty or Orange or nobody or one of the others, makes no difference. Evidently, if there is a however remote chance that somebody else might come up the middle and win, and you care mostly about defeating Brown, you should give your second vote to that person. You cannot actually vote tactically here. (Though you could if, say, your real preferred candidates were Orange and Wilcox but you very much cared about Brown being taken out, so gave Grosso one of your votes because he's the man to do that.)
