Nope ....
His game was played under FED rules and they do have this covered. So in his game good call.
As for OBR, when doing a LL game, I'll hide behind 9.01c. I mean, EJ a kid for throwing a bat is not in the OBR and LL supports an ejection for that under 9.01c. With the 1 game suspension it seems harsh so I take a twist out of something a wise umpire once told me. I ask the coach if he can sub for the kid before the next at bat. Smart coach is appreciative of my efforts to not EJ.
I don't think in higher levels of ball this would be up to you to enforce though. Bean balls and metal cleats would take care of it. I must say that's an unqualified opinion because I don't do those levels of ball.
