Did the ump blow the call?

Situation... Runner on 1st and second no out... batter squares to bunt, runners break to advance. Batter/runner called out as bunt hit him as he was out of the box. Runners now standing on 3rd and 2nd. Umpire said that runners entitled to advance at own ris on the play. I maintain that when the batter was declared out, the ball is dead immediately and the runners return to original base. Who is correct?

You are correct, that is interference, it kills the ball and returns the runners.
