I'm guessing a single-umpire, local rules intramural game here...
It sounds, by your description, that the umpire judged the ball to have entered dead ball territory.
If so, the batter/runner should have been awarded 2nd base. Two bases from the time of the throw is the award when a ball leaves the field of play.
If not judged to have entered dead ball territory, it is play on...
If this is a local intramural league, there may be local rules for the younger players.
