SENIOR SLOW PITCH SOFTBALL

Question
ONE OUT. RUNNERS ON FIRST AND THIRD. BATTER FLYS OUT TO RIGHT. RUNNER FROM THIRD TAGS AND SCORES BEFORE RUNNER ON FIRST WHO FAILS TO TAG IS THROWN OUT BY RIGHT FIELDER COMPLETING THE DOUBLE PLAY. DOES THE RUN COUNT.  IF SO WHY?  IF NOT WHY?  I SAY RUN DOESN'T COUNT

Answer
I'm sorry Ed your wrong on this one,

This is considered a "timing play" and is not a force out.  You can only have a force out if the batter becomes a b-r.  In this case they did not because the ball was caught.  You have no b-r to "force" any base-runner.

If R1 scored before the LBA (live ball appeal) of a base left too early on R2 the run would indeed count.

RS 1 K. Tag-Ups. "When a runner leaves a base too soon on a caught fly ball and returns in an attempt to retouch, this is considered a time play and not a force out. When the appeal is the third out, all runs scored in advance of the appealed runner and prior to the legal appeal count."
