I think LL is close to OBR. Rich would be the expert on LL rules.
I personally would not call a balk. That would be OOO.

LL is the same as OBR. Do nothing unless the other team complains.
Doesn't matter in the lower levels (12U) as the runners can't lead and aren't held on.
Not only would it OOO to call a balk, it would be a rules misinterpretation - the penalty isn't a balk.
