NCAA 7.1.5.3: "If the appeal is the third out, and is successfully made on a base runner not forced to advance at the time of the infraction, all runs scored by base runners before the legal appeal was made, would count. Note: If a base runner leaves a base before a fly ball is first touched and returns in an attempt to retag, this is considered a timing play and not a force out."

Situation: R1 on 3rd, R2 on 2nd. 1 out. Fly ball hit to F9 caught for 2nd out, R1 scores but left the base an instant before the catch. R2 tags up legally and advances to 3rd. On the play on R1 at HP, the ball is overthrown but stays in play. R2 scores. On appeal at 3rd base, R1 is out for 3rd out but since R2 socred before the out her run counts. Even though the runner ahead of her is put out for out #3. Is this correct?
