No runs can score when the third out is made by either: a force out, or; the batter-runner being put out before reaching first base.
And, since somebody mentioned it, in OBR the B/R is not out for retreating back toward home to avoid a tag. However, if he retreats all the way back to and past home plate he is to be declared out.
(PS: I'm sure that you mean R1 crossed the plate ahead of the tag...Not F3!)
