Did I make the right call?

Runner 1 on third, R2 on second, and R3 on first, two out. Batter 1 hits a ground ball to shortstop, gets R2 in rundown between second and third. R2 is tagged out clearly after R1 has scored. Even though R2 was forced to third I say the run counts because it was a tag. Was I right?

I'll take a shot, not fully understanding the play. I would think run would NOT count since R2 was obligated to move to third by being forced.

A better question is, why are then running down a runner who was forced to move up to next base?
