Does this run score?

R1 scores easily and the throw from CF to 3rd base goes out of play allowing R2 to score. The defense makes a dead ball appeal that R1 left early, and the appeal is upheld. Do any runs score?

I say that the run does not score (even though it is a timing situation - not a force out) since the 3rd out was made on a preceding runner (NFHS 9.9.1c)

Did I give the proper answer?

Correct call, but I'm not sure what you mean by timing situation. R1 is out on appeal, and R2 did not score on a timing, he scored on an award due to throw going into dead ball so the appeal wipes out the award.
