When all these lightbulbs were turning on what ended up coming out of that play and who had to be ejected?

I read it the way you did as well. That whole paragraph made no sense to me.

Runner came off second base in the direction of first base, thus reinstating the force out?

You are correct, sir.

No ejections. I think the runner from first had an idea he was out. Perhaps he didn't hear the safe call and started toward the dugout. The whole matter was handled without a lot of yelling or high emotions. It was the player/coach who was the runner on first, so he had the best view of anyone.
