After reading all of the post so far in this thread, I have trouble scoring the run in this situation.
1) When B4 became a B/R, R2 was forced to move to 2B. R2 was out before reaching 2B. Therefore, R3 does not score.
2) I cannot think that the rules would allow the offense to score a run by committing interference.
3) R2 is an idiot.

P.S. Immediately after submitting this post, I discussed the play with MTD, Jr., and he asked the following question: If R2's interference caused an infielder from making a play on the B/R at 1B, could the umpires unilaterally impose an advantageous fourth (4th) out?
