There are so many things egregiously wrong with this situation that I hardly know where to begin. In no particular order:
1) 9-10 yr. olds don't balk. I've never seen it, and this case illustrates why no one else should see it either. And if you see one, you have to see them all. Let the circus begin.
2) The batter-runner inexplicably ended up at 1B. Brain fart of the collective baseball unconscious.
3) TD entered the field to overturn the umpire. If he would have started umpiring my game, he would have finished it, because I would have been in the car.
4) Tee is asking about a LL situation. This is surely the end of life as we know it.
As for the ruling, it sounds to me like a do-over from the point of the brain fart, followed by the obligatory faux myocardial infarction.
