The OP doesn't have a disqualified or eject player mentioned. While the umpire did not eject the player, he did call the batter/runner out.

So, what softball rule puts him out?

And would this have been grounds for a protest?

Whoosh away. And Robert Goodman did not answer a question. He posted another, different question. So perhaps allow Robert Goodman to assert for himself.
