Technically, it's not a "force play" at first. It's a missed base appeal. And my understanding is that if the B/R does not successfully acquire 1B as the third out, no run scores. Basically, the B/R must occupy 1B or any runners advancing on the play do not score.

Did they end up scoring the run or wiping it?

Exactly continuing action at first still treated as appeal of missed base, therefore no run should be scored.
