A runner is assumed to have touched a base once they have passed it. They would be called out for missing the base but runs scored prior to the appeal would not be nullified.

blu_bawls, you are 99% wrong. The only reason for the 1% allowance here is the continuing "is the out on the BR at first an force?" Makes no difference. The appeal of a BR missing 1B IS NOT a timing play. If it is the 3rd out of the inning NO RUNS will score.
