What happened?

Runner was going on a 3-2 pitch from first. It was a grounder right to second base, Wigginton catches the ball, steps on second base, and throws to first. Should have been a double play, but the ump said Wigginton caught the ball after he stepped off second. The ump just called the runner at first out, DT came out with a really weak looking argument. We actually got out of it without any damage being done though.

I mean, what argument do you expect him to make? The umpire thought (wrongly) that he stepped off before making the catch. It's a judgment call, not a misapplication of the rules.
