Does that clear things up any?

As an aside, So with R1 on third R2 on first, 2 outs, BR hits fair ball to RF (not caught) and R2 sprints past 2B (misses bag) and arrives at 3B safely, R1 crosses home. Play ends and defense appeals R2 missing 2B. Is that a force not a timing play and R1's run does not count?
