I think you meant the defensive coach (not umpire), and I'm in agreement with him. In your description, the PU has declared the "batter OUT," although he did it in a "sloppy" way, he was enforcing the IFF. Once he yelled the OUT! it can't be reversed (IMO). He was correct in not raising his hands and killing play (ball is alive on IFF).

The game should have had a director on site to sort this out before the game was resumed. If that director knew the rules, you would have batter OUT and runners on 2B and 3B (if R1 advanced).

I'm not sure if this is protestable or not, it probably depends on your leagues guidelines, but the team has a ligitimate beef if they lost by the number of runs scored after that play.
