Failure to touch a base does NOT create a "passed runner" situation. The trail runner would have to physically pass the leading runner to be out.
The run would not score.
4.09(a) EXCEPTION A run is not scored if the runner advances to home base during a play in which the third out is made 3) by a preceding runner who is declared out because he failed to touch one of the bases.
