little league rules

My ? regards a foul ball call. In my sons LLG a batter was 2 and 2. The next pitch was fouled off his fingures. The umpire called him out, after he called it a foul ball. He said the batter swung on the pitch even tho it hit him for a strike. My ? a foul ball off the fingures is still a foul ball right? He still should have had one more chance to swing?

The hands are not part of the bat. The umpire was correct.

Actually, the umpire should not have called it a foul. He should have called Time and Strike Three for the ball touching the batter on a strike. To be considered a foul, the ball would have had to contact the bat prior to the hands, which as Bob stated, are not part of the bat.
