F4 fails to catch the popup. After the ball hits the ground, F4 chases R3 back toward first, where BR has already rounded the bag, causing R3 to run (in reverse) past BR. R3 gets all the way back to the base and is tagged (BR is about where F4 started the play when the tag is made).
How many runs score and why?

Speaking ASA SP.
None, either R1 or R2 is out for leaving the base prior to the ball reaching the plate.
