Here is the situation,  there are two outs and a runner on third base.  The called third strike is dropped by the catcher and then  tagged out by the catcher, however prior to the tag the runner on third crossed home plate, does the run count?

No

”Rule 5.08(a) to 5.08(b)
EXCEPTION: A run is not scored if the runner advances to home base during a play in which the third out is made (1) by the batter-runner before he touches first base; (2) by any runner being forced out; or (3) by a preceding runner who is declared out because he failed to touch one of the bases.”
