Congrats on the Legion Regional - I got to do the Great Lakes Regional, and we had a great time!
I had a similar play in a Missouri Valley game years ago - the batter actually hit a home run over the fence and passed the runner on first who wasn't sure if the ball would be caught. After I called the batter out and the play ended, the OC came out and said "What have you got?". I told him the batter was out for passing the runner WHO WAS STILL STANDING ON FIRST BASE. He looked at the runner, looked back at me and said, "Oh." Then he went back to the dugout and between innings proceeded to "coach" the batter AND the first base coach quite loudly.
I love this game.
