By the book she's out.

Assuming this is a regular season game, however, by all rules of civility regarding 8 year olds, I probably would have simply called time after the first instance, and told 1BC to keep her from doing that. I might even, if it happened again, had another chat with the coach along the lines of "Coach, please stop them from doing that, I really don't want to call anyone out for that."

Heck, if the girl is just switching feet, and simply doing it clumsily, I might even extend such a warning to slightly older girls.
