With bases loaded and one out, the batter hits safely to right field. The runner at third scores, while the runner at second misses third base and continues on to score. The runner at first is thrown out at third base. The defense legally appeals the runner from second missing third.

How many runs score on this play???????

Why wouldn't the runner on third score?

Jimmy03 why are you saying the third out is a force play? Wouldn't that become an appeal instead of a force?

I was thinking one run score but that's it since the second out came on a legal tag at third and then the appeal on the runner behind the one that scored?

Where is my thinking going wrong here?
From 9-1-1:
A run is not scored if the runner advances to home plate during action in
which the third out is made as follows:
a. by the batter-runner before he touches first base; or
b. by another runner being forced out; or
c. by a preceding runner who is declared out upon appeal because he failed to touch one of the bases or left a base too soon on a caught fly ball; or
d. when a third out is declared during a play in which an umpire observed a base-running infraction resulting in a force-out (this out takes precedence if enforcement of it would negate a score); or
e. when there is more than one out declared by the umpire which terminates the half inning, the defensive team may select the out which is to its advantage as in 2-20-2.

------------------------------------------------
The missed base does need to be appealed, but the result of the appeal is a force-out, because the runner was forced to the base that he missed. He didn't reach it safely.
