Need some help on a situation that happened in a High School game last night.

Situation:

• Game is tied 2-2 at end of 6th, and still tied 2-2 going into top of 13th. The first pitch is fouled out of play, ump gives pitcher a brand new ball. Pitcher throws it back to catcher and asks for a different ball. The ump refuses. Pitcher then asks to roll the ball on the ground and the umpire again says no.

• The pitcher walks the batter (2nd walk of game) and the run ends up scoring on throwing error by center fielder with 2 out. This was the winning run.

Is there a Federation rule about changing the softball in a game?
