LL Majors-Opposing Manager 'forfeits game'

Last night a situation erupted over one of my batters being struck in the helmet from a hard throwing pitcher. Prior to this pitch, the opposing manager called out to his pitcher to get his attention, gave a couple signs around his face and tapped the bill of his hat up.

The stands on my side immediately erupted when my player got hit, claiming it was intentional. As you can probably imagine, tempers flared and things didn't go well after that and the kids were told to go to their dugouts. I made no accusations and tried to play middle man between my players parent and the opposing manager. The opposing manager then said he was forfeiting the game and we win.

We are the first place team and they are the second place team. This game could be a deciding factor on the final standings for the season. I wanted to continue the game as we were winning, but ending it was probably for the best to defuse the situation.

It's my understanding a forfeit like this needs to be referred to the LL BOD? Is this correct?
