In ASA, if the batter is put out, all force plays are off, and no subsequent out can be a force out (excepting some TWP where a runner reinstates his force by retreating). Therefore, the appeal at 3B is not a force play. Only one run scores. But whether it was a force play or not, no runs can score behind the runner called out for missing 3B for the third out.
In OBR, the appeal at 3B would be a force play, because the runner was forced at the time he missed the bag. But the point is moot in this case, as no following runners could score anyway.
