The catcher tagged the batter after he dropped the ball, or at least thought he did. The first and third base coaches were on their toes to send the runners.
Ump clearly signaled safe when the catcher looked back at him.
But, I have never heard an explanation that makes any sense as to why this rule exists. My oldest daughter was a very good fast pitch pitcher, and I HATED this rule. Why should a batter be rewarded for striking out?

Umpire has to call the pitch a strike before the runner can start to first- that what the celebration started on. Basically the entire infield besides the pitcher and catcher (the 2 that absolutely should've known this rule) knew it was a passed ball and still live. That stinks for the losing team but it's the rule. Even if they'd made the play at home or first, they game would've at least been tied and the out not count for dugout interference. Smart play by the batting team to keep going until the last out was called.
Where did the ball end up? That second run took forever to get home

In the catchers back pocket. Guess he was thinking "souvenir"
Pretty sure the second run was the batter.
