It seems in this situation there were runners on 2nd and 3rd that were tagging up. Both umps were concentraing on runner on 3rd. What is ruling in that situation. Both runners tag up. Runner from 3rd scores. Runner from 2nd leaves early and is ruled out on appeal play. Does run count if appeal play is 3rd out of the inning?

It's a timing play -- the out is made when the appeal is made (or at the end of playing action under Fed). Assuming the run scored before that, the run counts.
