Jay... I had the same thing happen in a Bronco tournament last weekend. Bottom of the 7th with the score tied. Home team hits a lead off double. I was PU. BU calls out the runner as I'm returning to the plate. SS had the ball and tagged the runner when he stepped off. BU was right on top of it.

The manage tried to pull the same stunts. First he said that he called time. I told him that I call time, he request time. Of course he said he requested time. I told him he didn't. Yea right skip, how often does an offensive manager ask for time on a stand up double?

Then he tried to tell me the pitcher was on the mound. I told him he has to be standing on or astride the rubber without the ball and if he did it was a balk. I told him no balk occurred, the play stands. Play ball. They won the game three hits later. Those rats all think alike.
