It was a single and he was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. He reached first base as a result of the single.

If you make it to first base safely, it's considered a hit. Getting tagged out at a later base doesn't negate that.

Yes, he had already hit first base so it's at least a single

As long he reached ONE base safely, it is considered a hit.

The 1st guy is right. As long as he touched the 1st base, it counts as a hit.

he made it to first safely without an error. Therefore, a hit.

Yes. It was a single, even though he was thrown out at second.
