In the tourneys we have done like that, if a ball wasn't readily available, you started calling strikes on the batter. Most teams would have a couple kids out there retreiving balls. We also had restrictions on the types of balls that could be used. Many times our pitcher would get a ball, call time and give it to the ump to show him it wasn't up to code so to say. The ball would be thrown out, if they didn't have another, start calling strikes.
