I've seen lefty men throw a nasty curve ball that cuts across the entire inside corner of the plate and is caught in the middle of the batters box. Could well happen that a 12U pitcher could throw screw-ball that does similar thing. I agree with dead ball call...give first base. Delaying your called strike/called ball call will give you the "out" of saying the pitch was a ball.
But is it the right call?
