Different way to handle this ?

ASA pool play 16U.

I'm BU. R1 on 1B. Runner breaks for 2B on a steal. Does this hook slide, and rolls off the bag screaming in agony.

When I say screaming, I mean screaming, it's obvious she's injured.

The ball was launched into centerfield by the catcher.

So runner is laying on the ground screaming,not on the bag, ball is in centerfield and I come up with "Dead Ball".

My initial thought was she pulled her shoulder out of place.

Offensive coaches come out to tend her.

Defensive coach comes out to beef about how they should get an out on the play because his player tagged her when she was rolling on the ground. I give him "err on side of safety spiel" and he reluctantly accepts it.

My question is did I handle this correctly ?

PS. Not relevant to post, but it ended up being a broken wrist.
