Nope. The USSSA rule is real similar to ASA. Here is what USSSA FP says:

The runner is out:

-When he does not legally slide and causes illegal contact and/or illegally alters the actions of a fielder in the immediate act of making a play on him.

Effect: The runner is out and the ball is dead immediately.

Note: Runners are never required to slide but, if the runner elects to slide, the slide shall be legal.

-He does not legally attempt to avoid a fielder in the immediate act of making a play on him.

Effect: The runner is out and the ball remains alive unless interference is called.
