I'm a dad, not an official, and tried to track this down in the Little League rule book a few years ago, and after the play the other night, I revisited the rule book (again) to no avail in my search for this as a reason to pit the runner out.
Is this an out for some reason that I am missing?

Thanx in advance for answers - peterN
No, Pete especially since he struck the ball then touched the plate. Sorry about the lack of direct responses to your question.
