Because the third out was not a force out, whether or not the run scores is, indeed, a timing play. As a result, yes, the run would score. The appeal should not have been honored, so the appeal is irrelevant in this situation.

The appeal is irrelevant to R3, but R2 does not score because of the appeal. So two runs not three score.

No, only one run would score since the final out of the inning (R2) preceded the third runner (R3).

Sheesh, I should have read this sitch better. My answer above is dead wrong, and I apologize if anyone paid any attention to it.

The key to this situation is that the BR was called out. As a result, all forces are off. Since the force is no longer in effect, the appeal becomes a timing play.

Only R1 scores.
