Your post upsets and shocks me. It sounds like they (the Protest Committee) have it all wrong. Graymule's example of Rule 9.1.1 (sit. 1) sounds like almost the exact situation, where the third out for missing 1st nullified all runs. Can you contact the NFHS (the FEDs) and get a ruling officially from them? And the suggestion that you "pretend" you didn't see the runner miss, what BS is that?
Doesn't the batter-runner always have to touch first base (as in an out-of-the-park homerun) before the run can count and the game is over? Or has FED taken THAT out of baseball?? And all the fines, demotions, suspensions...
what state do you live in? I'll be sure to avoid it if that's how they treat their HS officials (especially when they have the ruling/decision wrong). IMHO
You are definitely getting the shaft.
