Why not
Based on the what the OP gave, the Umpire got it right. Play does not stop just because the pitcher is on the pitchers plate.
Pitcher cannot hurry up back to the mound to stop an advancing runner.
The battery must be set and all play must be stopped. Only then can you send the runner back (LL rules) if he tries to advance.
Not verbatim but I didn't think he asked for a rule #.
