I think you were right and both runs should score. First, the batter
reached first so there was no force play involved. Then, both runs
scored before the batter was called out. If the umpires reasoning is
correct, no runs score because everyone would move up one base (since
the batter only got a single). By the way, there are very few plays
which can be protested rightfully because most plays are judgement
calls. This case, however, is one that could have, and should have,
been protested and maybe with a favorable outcome. (If the protest
is upheld, the game is replayed from the moment of protest).
