Garth was correct in his explanation and I don't know why there is such a build on this thread but maybe I can clarify.
Simply put, if the third out is a force or if the batter-runner does not attain 1st base, the run does not score.
As far as the batter-runner is concerned, whether the base is tagged or the batter-runner is tagged (as in the original situation) matters not. The batter-runner did not attain 1st base - run does not score!
Regards
