Dr.C,
Yes, the head first slide is illegal in Little League.
However, in the instance of which you speak, I think the slide was initiated by the runners feet actually being propelled forward and to the right side, as opposed to the head and arms being propelled forward.
A great slide, I thought. Very athletic and legal.
