Civilcoach, the run does not count. It is still considered a force play even though a tag was made. The runner on first was forced to vacate his base because the batter became a baserunner. Whether the runner from first was tagged out or put out by the fielder by touching second base, it is still a force play. The run does not count. Good question, though!
