Thats a terrible call.

As you correctly state, the rule applies to a batter runner - not a runner.

I cant quote a rule for you because there is no such rule; the umpire pulled it out of their @$$.

Not sure how you could argue it other than protest it, though.

Protesting it with a solid understanding of the misapplied rule is the only route I can see taking here. Hence my asking questions about the rules
