JP,
Assuming it happened to me at that age level, one option would have been to go the defensive coach (since we know how everyone else felt about it)and ask if the runner was safe.
If he says "Safe", ... end of story.
If he says "Out", I apologize, stick with my call and try to get back into the game.
