Ejection without an out?

I have an USC and an ejection, but do I have an out?
There was no play being attempted by F2 (8.7.Q).
There was an OBS, but this isn't a subsequent INT that would take precedence over the OBS.
Bottom line, does the run score?

It's an ejection for USC, certainly. If R1 did not commit an act of INT, you can't call the out unless she missed the plate (and the defense properly appeals).

I understand where you're going with this, and I personally feel that a runner committing this kind of a flagrant act should not be allowed to score. However, that is not the rule, and despite my strong distaste for such an act, I must allow the run to score.
