Play from Iraq
This is a play which BretMan and I have been discussing on another board. The issue is the time from which bases are awarded.

1 out, runner at 1st and 3rd. Batter hits slow roller down the line to 3rd, runner on 3rd holds for a few seconds then bolts for home, 3rd baseman bolts for ball but boots it off his glove, (into foul territory) ball then rolls into the feet/path of the runner going home. Runner going home trips/falls and ball then shouts/rolls "out of play". I was the ump for this game. I called runner going home safe, he was over 1/2 way home when it happened. By this time the runner on first was nearly to 3rd and the hitter was halfway to 2nd. I held them up at 3rd and 2nd. Did I make the right call?

BretMan and NCASA already know my position. Thoughts?
