Yes, but that is true in ASA & others as well. Since the ball is dead on the infraction, and the infraction by definition happened before the ball left the pitcher's hand, there was no pitch. I suppose the reason it is explicitly stated in the LL rule is because the younger kids have to wait until the ball reaches the batter.
