njdevs00cup,
The head of your association needs to get his hands on something called a "Rules Book" - and look at 8-3-3f. (FED)
For OBR-based games, I would suggest you share the following with him:
Quote:
8-21-03 @ WUA Site — When a live ball enters a player's uniform or the catcher's gear, the ball is to be ruled dead and no subsequent outs can be obtained by the defense. The umpire is then directed to employ common sense and fairness and place the runners such that the act of the ball
becoming dead is nullified. The umpire may not, however, enforce any outs that he thinks may have occurred had the ball remained live. Outs occurring before the ball went out of play stand.
