Wait...
The defense did not catch the ball, and therefore the BR was not retired. BR passed R3 on the basepath after gaining possession of 1B (meaning R3 no longer had right of possession to 1B). That means the runs count so long as the BR did not pass R3 on the BP before both runs scored. That's how I see and read the OP's post.
