That's 3.

Now you didn't give us the final outcome so perhaps the umpires got together and decided that since the Defense ORIGINALLY had no intention of appealing the missed base and only did so because of the PA announcer, then they reversed their decision and left R2 and second base. The decision could be based on the fact that No replay equipment is to be used and in a way that's precisely what happened.

Now here comes the DM and he in turn gets dumped which makes 4 Ej's

How did I do?

The umpires absolutely got bushwhacked on this one BUT:
If both defensive and offensive personal got dumped then maybe the umps didn't act quite as decisively as they could have.

If they immediately tell both benches to take a chill pill, get together hash out what they want to do and then come to the coaches with their decision then only one side goes bonkers.
I hope we hear that it was the PA announcer and three defensive ejections.
