Obviously that runner's run does not count and she is the third out of the inning. The lead runner's run counts though, right? Appeals are timing plays, not forces, so as long as the runner scored before the appeal the run counts?
What about the BR? She scored before the appeal, but I seem to recall reading somewhere (maybe even on this board) that no succeeding runner can score if an appeal is the third out. Or maybe I'm just crazy and made that up.
I'm interested in answers from any and all codes.

No runs score R2 going to 2B is a force out and no runs may score on a play in which the 3rd out of the inning was a force out.
