Missed Home Plate

ASA SP ruleset.

Got a runner coming to the plate, got the catcher set up in front of the plate, got the ball coming also. Its gonna be close. So the runner goes for a tag on the inside corner of home plate but misses the plate. Catcher also misses the tag.
Runner slides about 5 feet past home, jumps up,and immediatly goes for home. Catcher again misses the tag and runner scores. Defensive team wanted an out for missing the plate. I had nothing.

I read 8-7-I and it talks about a proper live ball appeal. There was no appeal just a catcher missing the tag ,again.

Was my call correct ?
