NFHS 7-3-1 allows a penalty strike if batter steps out of the box without time being granted. In an instance where the batter did exactly that after you verbally refused to grant time, I submit your call was most appropriate.

If you accomplished your task without a second offensive conference, and thus avoided the unpleasnat result, I think you did a great job of preventative officiating; and it was all in the rules, not made up.
