Anytime a BR is out, and that is NOT a 3rd out, then there can be no other force after (chronologically) THAT (on the BR) out; because all forces are removed when a trailing runner is out. Even on appeal. So runs scored in advance of the 3rd out must score.

I'm not necessarily stating that I think that one interpretation is more logical than the next. I have an opinion as to that, but haven't expressed it.
All that I am saying is what the interpretation is. ASA rules differently than NFHS and NCAA.
