Even if the defense had appealed before B3 singled (i.e., immediately after the wild pitch), R1's advance would still be legal, and the run would count. In that case, B2 would simply replace B3 in the batter's box and assume the count.
However, ASA differs from other codes in a certain respect: (FP) R1 on 3B, no outs. Ball 4 to B3 (batting instead of B2) bounces off F2's shinguard and into DBT. R1 scores, and B3 goes to 1B. In ASA, on a BOO appeal by the defense, B2 would be out, R1 would return to 3B, and B3 would bat again. But in NCAA (and OBR), R1's run would count, since the advance was not a result of anything the batter did.
