The approved ruling doesn't say the BR must reach 1B safely. The appeal of BR missing 1B should be upheld. Game and let's get the heck out of Dodge.

Why game? Using OBR this is a time play, the batter runner who advances beyond first and is subsequently out upon appeal for missing first base is deemed to have reached first base for purposes of such time plays. The runner who reached home should still have their run count and we are going to extras.
