From a rulebook

I find it hard to believe that the run was wiped off the board.

Runner on first tries to retouch before throw from fielder reaches first baseman, but does not get back in time and is out. Three outs. If, in umpire’s judgment, the runner from third touched home before the ball was held at first base, the run counts.
Something must have been said that we have all missed.
