My thoughts on this were originally that one run would count because it would be a time play, but then rule 8-2 ART 6-h (p 50) says that only runs scoring ahead of the legal appeal would count if the appeal was the third out.

If R2 left early nad was out on appel, then R3's run would count.
But, with R3 out, no runs can score -- a trailing runner can never score when a preceeding runner mkaes the third out. That's true in all codes.
