Hustling more would have made little to no difference in that instance IMO.

It would have made all the difference. He wouldn't have been pulled from the game and there'd be no controversy.

Plus, the runner never would have made it to 3B. Or scored on the following play.

Looked to me that the runner would have made it to 3rd regardless after the ball was booted (which had little to do with not hustling, more just a sloppy play at first), but I could be wrong. I'm not excusing it, just saying.
