NF rules being used. R1 on 1st. R1 leads off, and then goes on the pitch. As he is running, his helmet comes off (not intentional). Batter hits ball and it strikes the helmet -helmet was sitting on the baseline between 1&2, no fielder in position to make the play. and goes into right field. After lengthly discussion, umpires leave the runners on 1st & 3rd (bases they stopped at when ball was retrieved).

Did they make the correct call?

Is it the same call in LL and OBR?

Thanks
