My two cents: batter gets first only. Runners move up one base only from TOP. There is no "double" award. Bases loaded.
Even if, by the time the ball went into DBT, the runners had advanced to and passed the next base—even if the runner from 2B had crossed the plate—they get one base from TOP.
I've seen that call blown many times. Just because these umpires ruled the wrong way and somebody else upheld it, the rules don't change.
