Had the same play in a Pony qualifier last year. Coach insisted that all it takes is "one step toward the dugout" and the batter is automatically out. He repeated "one step toward the dugout" several times. When I asked him whether he was quoting the rule book, he replied, with a straight face, that he saw it happen on TV, and that's what the announcer said.
