Does the run score?

"orthodox" refers to the pitching style -- no windmill, all other aspects the same.

As far as the rule is concerned, I quoted from the Softball Canada rulebook. which uses the phase forced out rather than put out, which I believe most other rulebooks use.
(I only have access to Softball Canada and the ISF rulebooks)

I have done a few games at the RA Center -- mostly SP (yuk)
hopefully I will get a few more FP next year.

ISF: 5.7.b.1: A run shall not be scored if the third out of the inning is a result of the batter-runner being put out before legally touching first base.

ASA 5.5.B.1: No run shall be scored if the third out of the inning is the result of a batter-runner being called out prior to reaching first base or any other runner forced out due to the batter becomming a batter-runner.

Obviously, Softball Canada needs to update their wording or they want to play by different rules, but I would not allow the run.

BTW, no matter how loud you called "no catch" it may not have made the difference. There is usually so many players, coaches and fans screaming at the same time, they are not going to hear you no matter how loud you scream.
