My question is what did the umpire do?
Did the umpire call the runner out, thereby putting the runner in jeopardy because of a "bad call". If so, then I say the runner is put back on base and all other play stands.
If he called the runner safe then the runner had a brain fart, too bad runner out and no run scores.
