But to say that call didn't change the series is myopic.

So your argument is that Jack Clark completely lose track of the pop-up because of that call? That the passed ball by Porter was because of the call?
Let's replay the inning if Orta is correctly called out:
Orta - Out
Balboni - Single, pinch runner
Sandberg - sacrifice still likely. Two outs, runner at 2nd.
Pinch hitter - McRae - likely still walked (passed ball probably never happens) to set up a force at any bag and work around a more dangerous hitter.
Iorg - bloop single to RF still ties the game.
AT BEST for the Cardinals... It's a tie game.
