No liability issues here.
Maybe HTBT, but I'm also one who would not have killed the play as described.
Had a sitch similar to DG's in a Legion game last summer: F1 poleaxed by a shot just above his rt. eye & toward the ear; the ball fell about where you'd stand in the C position.
Fielders standing around shocked, concerned about F1; R1 stopped at 2d. Both umps verbalized [not shouting, but loud enough]: "Pick up the ball!"
As soon as the ball was under D control, THEN we called Time. Coaches already on the way out, play killed well before they reached the foul line: NO delay in getting help for the injured player - but also no premature killing of the play, either.
