LL does not give you that authority. You might help PU administer the game ... when he asks.

Little League may be weird this way. Little League officials are urged to prevent protestable events in general (Note 2 to Rule 4.19). Scorekeepers are designated officials for the game. So, it would not be out of line for a scorekeeper to bring an illegal substitution (say an ineligible pitcher) to PU's attention unbidden.
BOO, of course, is not a protestable event, and announcing the actual batter at the plate is the correct way to handle this situation.
