Pete, why would an out not be called in LL? I am not questioning you, just wondering the rule citation.
Here is the rule:
7.08- Any runner is out when -
(a)(1) running more than three feet away from a direct line between bases to avoid being tagged, unless such action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball; or (2) after touching first base the runner leaves the baseline, obviously abandoning all effort to touch the next base; or (3) the runner does not slide or attempt to get around a fielder who has the ball and is waiting to make the tag;
Seems to me that he did not slide or attempt to get around a fielder who had the ball and is waiting to make a tag.
