This happened to me today. LL (8yr-olds), I'm plate ump. 2 outs, one runner at 2nd. Batter hits to F6, who bobbles ball to F5. I'm running up 3rd base line to see the play on R2. F5 reaches out with ball to tag runner on back as runner goes by. It looked like a tag to me so I called runner out. Because of the angle, though, I couldn't actually see the ball touch the runner's back. So that's 3 outs and both teams are in the dugouts, except for F5, who is talking with his coach. They both come over and the kid says "Hey, I didn't actually get the tag on the runner." I said thanks for telling me, but it's too late now. What should I have done?
