Thanks for the answers guys. The league is actually called the cheyenne junior league, players from 4 to 13 or so, obviously different division, this game was in the upper division. Thanks again, it is more clear now.

In LL Juniors (13-14 yo), with 1B occupied and less than 2 outs, the batter is out on the uncaught third strike, but the ball is still live. R1 can try to steal. The batter running to 1B (whether in confusion or on purpose as in a trick play) is nothing, and there is no reason to kill the play. R1 was legitimately tagged out. Had R1 instead safely advanced to 2B, that advance would have been legitimate too.
