Speaking ASA.
All the "intent" and age level aside, the runner STOPPED on a base while the pitcher was in control of the ball inside the circle. That, I believe is an out (8.7.T.2).
In respect to NOT calling time out, I do not have my Case Book with me at work, but I do believe this is covered by a play in it. If I remember correctly, if it is apparent than no further action is going to occur, the umpire should call time and move the runner back to 1B.
Glen or Tom might be able to get to that before I can, but if not, I'll come back if I can find it.
