If this was a league that my association umpired, and if there was a protest filed with the league, my response to the league as the umpire representative is that none of this happened in their game. The game ended earlier; whatever they did after that was not official.
And, I would counsel and remind the umpires that they were on their own after that point, just like calling a pickup game in the street.
Regarding the play, you already got all the right answers.
