Defence now throws to 3B for the force out. After force out at 3B, BR passes the retreating R1 between 1B and 2B and is called out.
There is a throw made to 2B for the force there, but it is after BR has been called out for the third out.

Does the run count?
The out on the B-R removed the force on R1 so there is now no force at 2B.

The out on the B-R was the third out.

There is no possible 4th out force play appeal now because the force was removed.

The run counts.
