TB21 - haven't heard if you've reconsidered this scenario. Thoughts?

Hey TB21, you made me think on this one, so I'm going to return the favor.
When I think too much, I need to go back to the book.
5.5.B
No run shall be scored if the third out of the inning is the result of:
1. A BR being called out prior to reaching first base or any other runner forced out due to the batter becoming a batter-runner.
In our TWP, (and assuming already 1 out) when the BR interferes, she becomes the second out. Umpire determines her INT was an attempt to prevent a double play. But the runner from third has already touched home prior to the INT, so the next runner closest to home is at second base.
Now do we score the run?
