The defense has no unfair advantage if the batter is exerting any effort

This is correct and there is a rule to protect runners in exactly this case.

The umpire can call it dead if he wants. Hence the manager decision to go out and challenge.

There is. The umpire just blew it and didn’t use that rule. I have seen it many times

It’s called the “Intentional drop rule”. Rule 5.09(a)(12)

I have done this exact thing many times at shortstop on line drives and turned 2 (sometimes 3).There is actually a rule

He tagged the runner first. Since the force was on, first was not a safe bag for the runner. If he would have stepped on
