The well-known pontificator on that other game (you know who I mean, Mike), has a concept called making the expected call as part of game management. That may very well apply here.
Technically, it is a dead ball strike. If you make this call, discussion (at least) ensues... offensive coach, and since this was 12U, parents.
The expected call is a HBP, take your base. It is what everyone at the park saw except you.
