Uh, you might want to check the top of original post where it stated
Tie score, bottom of 7th, nobody out or 1 out.

I was suggesting that an out was assessed against R3, and that R2 and R1 return to their respective bases.

The only time the result of an appeal play can take a run off the board is if that appeal involved the 3rd or 4th out of an inning.
This is why I mentioned that since only R3 can be declared out which would bring us to 1 or 2 outs, the run would count. As far as putting runners back, that cannot happen because when a BR is awarded 1B, all runners forced at that time are entitled to advance one base without liability of being put out.
As an umpire on this play, I may not even recognize the appeal as there is no affect on the game. I would just blow-off the coach, but explain it to him there he can have the out, but the game is still over.
