Possible 2 out timing play

Thank you for your assistance. I was unable to find it in a rule book.

I have another question? why does it become timing?

I believe ALL codes read about the same. The run counts if the runner touches home plate before the third out of the inning is made, except if the third out was a "force out", or an out by the batter-runner before he touches first base.

The key word is "before", which dictates the time it happens, and therefore, "a timing play".
