Thanks. And this was exactly my predicament. I waited about 10 or 15 seconds, waiting to see if the batter would go into the dugout. He did not.
Here is what I did: I chickened out because my rules knowledge was not strong enough and allowed the winning run. I left the field, waited about three minutes and then came back and called the coach aside to tell him what happened. I told him that had the batter gone into the dugout, I would have called him out and not allowed the winning run. He understood....but I am not sure he would have been so understanding had I known all this information at the game and made the "correct" call.
