Now, if this was Jr or Sr level game or even HS/College. . .would it be the same call?

What you actually have here - in any organization - is a batter (or runner) hit/contacted by a fair batted ball before it has passed an infielder. Dunno 'bout jr's or sr's since I don't do LL. I can't imagine that it would happen in most high school games, but I've got a rule to cover that. In college, the head coach is likely to have killed the batter before I'm able to kill the play
