I had the catch-no catch, BR touching 1B, R1 touching home (1-man game).

As all offensive runners converge near pitcher's circle for high 5's, and defense is walking off, F6 comes to me and quietly says, "runners never got to 2nd & 3rd. If I touch the bases, no score, right?"

Now, with what I was looking at (see above), I can't swear they didn't touch before breaking off to celebrate. This was totally my bad, will try to NEVER let it happen again.

The only thing that bailed me out was, F6 (with the still-live ball) proceeded to trot over to 2nd, then 3rd.

Thank god, in that order, he removed the force at 3rd. Game still over, right?

Proper answer to F6's question: I had to watch the catch/no catch, the batter touch first and the runner touch home. After that, they are already celebrating and I didn't see them not touch. Game over.

Answer to your question: R3 to 2B was still a force out, so, if you rule that an out, no run scores.
