FUBAR, boys.

1. I did watch Tim. I saw him say "passing the runner."
2. There was no R3 on this play, which began with 1 out, R1 & R2.
3. R2 scored, and his run counted.
4. The call was passing the runner, BR is out. That removes the force on R1, who was safe at 2B because the defense didn't tag him.
5. Play resumed with 2 out and R2 rather than 2 out and R1, which is why Black didn't complain: he got a runner into scoring position out of it.
Once you grant the passing the runner call, they handled it absolutely correctly.
