This sitch is another great reason to not over "call time" a mistake that many young officials make. It's good game management IMO to keep the ball live as often as possible.

You are right on with this. Two years in a row I have had teams try to appeal--and one lose a chance at an out--because my BU called time for some reason I can't remember, probably to let the runner get up.
One team finally got the out. The other (11/12 yo) just pitched the ball after I tried to explain to F1 that he needed a live ball to appeal. Oh well....
