An exception on appeals is if the appeal is a timing play and is for the 3rd out, succeeding runner's scores do not count. Example: 2 outs. R1 on 2nd. R2 on 1st. BR hits an outfield fly for an apparent inside the park home run. But, R1 misses third base. Defense appeals R1 missing 3rd after all runners cross home. One run (R1) scores. The batter-runner's score does not count. Inning over.
Tom, what am I missing here?

In this scenario, no runs would score. R1, starting at second with R2 on first is forced to third. If she missed third and is appealed properly, the third out is a force and no other runs may score.

Now it just occurred to me that this may be a typo, and you may have meant to say R2 missed third as she rounded the bases. If this is the case, the run scored by R1 would count, but the runs scored by R2 and the BR would not.
