On the play, R1 from third passed home before the tag (time play), but she missed home plate. The defense may appeal the miss of home for the advantageous fourth out.

So I'm not sure you can have an advantageous fourth out here. What you may have (which is the crux of MD's question) is that the out at second is still a force out to negate the run. I'm not sure what the answer is on that one.
This reminds me of a discussion on eteamz once....Appeal vs. Play?

The runner has missed second. Is the tag of her an appeal of a missed base or a play on a runner who has missed the bag.
