The bolded section below shows that the skunk play is legal:
From the LL rule book: 7.08 -- Any runner is out when - (a) (1) running more than three feet away from his/her baseline to avoid being tagged, unless such action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball. A runner’s baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base which he/she is attempting to reach; and from the Rules Instruction Manual: INSTRUCTOR COMMENTS: ⇒ Be aware that the base runner makes his/her own baseline as he/she progresses (or regresses) around the bases. Depending on the circumstances, his/her baseline frequently may change as the play develops. |

I still do not see anyway that batter runner can run to first base and then run out to the outfield and not be out for not returning to his base or continuing to second in little league where their is no leading. I guess I will have to find another way to research this.

Maybe LL ump responds

All I know, as ODJ alluded too, most LL teams don't throw the ball back to their pitcher while the skunk is running around the OF. You would think the DC had the presence of mind to have his team throw the ball to the catcher, have him hold on to it, and request time. You know that most LL teams will give up 2nd base anyway on the next pitch. R1 will steal 2B and catcher will return ball to F1. I would grant time and exchange words w/ the OC unless we were playing 5 inngs in 1.5 hours. Then I would tell the catcher, "No! Hold on to the ball son and lets wait right here." But that is strictly how I would handle it as an ump if the skunk's team were losing. If they were winning, other than shake his hand after the game, what would you do?
