Does the run count?

[Double Up]

OBR 

1 out  with  R1 and R3.    Fly ball hit to  F9, and caught.

R1  was stealing 2B on the pitch and has to scramble  back to  1B to  tag  up.     Meanwhile,  R3  tags up and crosses  home plate  just before R1 is put out  for failing to tag up at 1B.  

Does the run count?

Mr. Double Up, the play you presented is nearly identical to one that appears in the rule book as an approved ruling in the rule about how a run scores--

2021 OBR rule

5.08 How a Team Scores

(a) One run shall be scored each time a runner legally advances to and touches first, second, third and home base before three men are put out to end the inning...

APPROVED RULING: One out, Jones on third, Smith on first, and Brown flies out to right field. Two outs. Jones tags up and scores after the catch. Smith attempted to return to first but the right fielder’s throw beat him to the base. Three outs. But Jones scored before the throw to catch Smith reached first base, hence Jones’ run counts. It was not a force play.

You have been around here long enough to know "that run scores". Are you asking for written proof because one of your cohorts thinks it's a force out, which it is not. It's a time play.
