last night the team would bring in pinch runners for the bigger boys that could not run as fast.

I believe this is the ruling, but it has been a couple years since my son was in All-stars.
A sub on the bench can courtesy run for either the pitcher or catcher. If a pinch runner is used for someone else, that runner must stay in the game for at least 3 outs or 1 at bat. This is the minimum playing time for each player on the team.

It's good that you realize the out at first is not a force out. Those who insist it is need to read the definition of "force play" in Rule 2.00. The run does not count, however, because the batter-runner failed to touch first base safely and was the third out.
