Batter hits the ball toward the middle of first and second. Second base fielder is lined up in the base path. Runner on first slows down to avoid the second baseman. Runner is hit by the second baseman and then hit by the batted ball. Runner is safe at first and second. I rule that the runner would not have gained any further bases and leave it be, runners at first and second. What is the correct call?

Unless you are in Canada where PeeWee might be a different size than we envision your call was incorrect but appropriate for that particular game.

Why do you think it was approprite for that particular game? (serious question)

I'm having trouble seeing where this is anything but INT even at Tee-ball.
