Ground ball to SS, BR doesn't run. R2 gets hung-up between 2B & 3B and keeps the defense occupied until R1 scores.
BR realizes that he better run in case R2 escapes safely from the run down.
F6 tags R2 and throws to 1B in time to get the BR.
Does the run score?

Speaking ASA (and even though I believe the ISF guys will disagree, I believe this would be accepted by the officials in charge), (also assuming new regime has not reversed anything put forth by the predecessors)
The run does not score. As long as the play is continuous, ASA will allow the defense to stop the run from scoring by putting out a runner at 1B even after a tag had been made previously for a third out during that play. What would not be acceptable in this scenario is a defense who, after all play is obviously over, wants to appeal the BR not touching 1B.
