Richard10,

I agree with Mike, why go to TOP.

Currently I only have the AFA/NCAA rules with me, but would think
ASA was pretty close .

AFA -
Section 9.6e. [Runner interference]: A base runner, after
being declared out or after scoring, may not interfere with
a defensive player's opportunity to make a play on another
runner.
PENALTY - The ball is dead, and the runner closest to HP
at the time of the interference shall be declared out. {In
our case BR since runner on 3rd has crossed HP and no longer
a runner} {In this case too, it would be the 3rd out and since
BR never reached 1B run could not score} Each base runner must
return to the last base legally touched at the time of the
interference,
NOT TOP.
Therefore, in your updated version, yes, the run would count
since we had no outs to start, got R2 going to 2nd and the
2nd out on the interference - BR. Run scored.
