How did the umps rule on the play you described?
A common myth among the general spectating public (and know-it-all players) is that any play in which a runner does not have to be tagged is automatically a "force" play. But as others have noted, this is a time play; the runs scores.
Various codes differ on exactly what is considered a force play, however. (Generally, this involves missed bases. Baseball and softball are different.) In ASA, as soon as the batter is put out, all force plays are off. I don't know whether NSA parallels ASA 100% in this, but I'm sure that in your play, NSA follows ASA and every other code.
