3rd out on Appeal

[Guest Just a fan]

R2 and R3, 1 out.  Long fly caught in LF, both runners advance a base easily.  Defense appeals that R2 left too soon and he is called out.  Does the run count?

Obviously, the run scored long before R2 was called out on the appeal, but isn't it handled like a force play where the timing of which happened first doesn't matter?

Yes the run counts.

No it's not a force, it's a time play.

The runner had scored when the appeal was upheld and the out recorded.
