We then call over league UIC-who is park director and not an ump-he goes with my decision.

So after game I dig out the rulebook to see if I am missing something. The only rule I can find pertaining to switching is 7-3-D.....

Am I missing something ?
How can we not laugh at something from the Sandlot Rule Book? A batter can stand in any batter's box they please as long as it is not done once the pitcher is prepared to pitch.
