--Side note: of course the parent was upset because her DD "only" got to pinch run. I hope I can tell her I was correct in my thought process.
There can be no expectation with regards to playing time.

Is this different at all for the DP/Flex (as far as the flex entering on offense)?
I see too many people think that pinch runner is the same as a courtesy runner. They think they can put a runner in and then the original player goes back on defense without a substition. That's why I posted that.Simply not true. Any player in any position in the line-up or in the field may be replaced by a legal substitute at any time during the game
You were doing it right, as others have mentioned.
Do you get to rate umpires in Indiana? We do here, and it's a pretty great tool for identifying the umpires who get basic rules like this wrong. We rate 1-5, and there's a comment box (which you have to fill out if you give the lowest rating).
What was the explanation on why you couldn't do this?
Probably a baseball umpire...
