You are wrong and have been proven so. You are aware we are talking ASA softball, right?
One base from the last base touched when the ball enters DBT. As noted, that would be 2B since in ASA softball, rule 8.3.B specifically states that a base passed is a base touched. Therefore, in accordance with 8.5.J and RS 27, the runner in the OP would be awarded 3B.
BTW, there are also Casebook plays which support this ruling.
Edited for an easier read.
