R1 is on second base, R2 on first base with one out. B4 hits safely to the outfield. R1 scores, R2 misses second base and is standing on third base when B4 is thrown out at second base. A dead-ball appeal is properly made on R2 for missing second base. The um-pire rules R2 out for the third out. Does R1's run count?

Yes r-1 run counts. Third out appeal is after r-1 scores.Appeal did not involve r-1

sorry jack

No. Since R2 was forced to advance to second base, the appealed out at second base was a force out. No runs can score if the third out of an inning is the result of a force out. (8-6-7 9-1-1 Exception b Rule 2, Section 1)
