Asked moderator afterward, he said my answer is correct. Runner scored before TOI.
Later, I'm thinking, if R1 is no longer runner closest to home (for purposes of retired runner INT), B3 is. If B3 is the 3rd out, how can any runs score?
Or am I not thinking this through?

R2 interfering with an attempted play on B3/BR at 1st implies that B3/BR had not reached 1st at the TOI.
Is the BR out at the instant of INT? That seems correct, which would mean third out by BR, no run.
Edit for disclaimer: I never answer as NCAA rule.
