It's going to be hard for anyone here to provide a definite answer. Without knowing which rule book your league uses, and not knowing what modifications or special league rules are in place, it is impossible for us to "give you a rule".
Just to give you some idea of the range of answers you might get, I have worked in leagues using the continuous batting order that would say:
- This is an out by the batter who cannot complete his at-bat.
- Replace the batter with some other designated spot in the line-up (like the last recorded out, or last batter in the order).
- Just forget about it and let the kid leave without penalty.
This is really something that the folks running your league need to answer. You would hope that, as a new umpire, they would have provided you with a copy of the league rules well before you ever stepped foot onto the field!
