I agree with Dakota. I think the ump got the call correct, but handled the situation poorly. He should have LOUDLY vocalized "THE RUN COUNTS" a couple of times then waited until the defense left the infield before leaving. In an 8U game I doubt they would have known about the 4th out appeal, but you have to give them the opportunity.
About the only good thing the ump did with this situation (besides getting the call right) was to disappear quickly as I'm sure there would have been an ugly confrontation.
Finally, I don't believe there is anything in the rules to justify a protest in this situation, so the result of the game should stand.
