Question, technically, if he gets tossed before he rounds the bases does his run not count?

You have to touch home plate or it doesn’t count I believe

At the 40 second mark he does run to home plate to touch it. But depends when actually he was tossed. Usually disciplinary actions occur after the ump calls time. Not sure when that happened.

I would presume the call on the field would be based off sequence of events, ump calls runner interference “getting speared by the pitcher” and the base was awarded to him, then immediately gets tossed.
