I witness this and it toke over 2 hours for the officials to make a call - they called the batter out, scored the runner on 1st and went to extra innings.
This is asa men only.
Forgive me if I am reading this wrong
Down 1 run. The runner at 3rd scored for a run to tie.

Wouldnt the runner from 1st that got passed also score and be the 2nd run?

I guess I am a bit confused on the sitch.

Third out as soon as the runner passed.

Correct call on protest as long as this wasn't Men's Class A Slow Pitch. In which case the bases do not need to be run and no appeals can be made.

In our local slowpitch league, rule is the batter has to only touch first on a ball over the fence. But then, we also have screens in front of the pitchers

Now that is a stupid rule. Either touch the bases or don't touch them. It's ludicrous to touch one then sit down..

The BR passed the leading runner from 1B & touched HP before the runner from 1B. That's an out, the 3rd out.
