Perhaps - but since it wasn't mentioned I'm going to assume the umpire on the spot didn't believe so.

If not, run does not score since the force was reinstated. (Cue the discussion about whether the BR is "forced".)

The rules regarding re-instating forces are in the section regarding runners. These same rules are not mirrored in the section regarding batter-runner (even though most rules ARE mirrored there). This indicates to me that there's nothing to reinstate here. BR HAS reached first base. The BR was not put out prior to reaching first base. I see no rules justification for nullifying this run. In any of the rulesets to be honest.
