Is the following play any different in theory?
Abel on 3B, Baker on 2B, Charles on 1B, 2 outs. Daniels gets an infield single on a roller that F2 picks up down the 1B line. Everyone moves up a base. Baker, now standing on 3B after Abel has scored—and without getting time out from the umpire—runs halfway back to 2B to pick up his hat. F2 throws to F5, who steps on 3B for the reinstated force on Baker.
Yes, the third out was a force play, but the run scored legally before Baker gave the defense an opportunity for the third out. The reinstated force is a new play. Anyway, that's my argument for counting the run.
Dakota, this ruling came after viewing the various replays from several angles.
