So when, now, did the strikeout occur?
Right then when it was appealed? If so, no run - the 3rd out occurred before BR reached first base. (Absurd, right?).
No, the out "occurred" back when he swung for the 3rd strike, meaning the third out was actually R2. Run scores.

After some
editing, an excellent discussion question in itself, even though the right answer was posted with the question.
