Had to forfeit my 1st game

[Dholloway1962]

The "if necessary" game at 14 and under tourney. Home team down 2 with 2 1/2 minutes to play and at bat with 2 outs. HT coach talks to his batter coming up and tells her something, not sure. She swings at 1st pitch then coach tells her to "come on". She promptly proceeds to the dugout and enters it. HT coach starts clapping and says that's 3 outs girls take the field.

I am standing at plate doing nothing and say I need a batter at the plate. HT coach says that 3 outs she entered the dugout, I say no, I need a batter now. HT coach sends his players onto the field as I call "strike 2". He then proceeds to tell me I don't know what I'm doing and the rule says she is out. This continues, until my timer goes off, which means 2 minutes had passed.

I called "ball game" forfeit.

HT Coach says that the rules say that once the batter swings at a pitch she can enter the dugout and be called out. I told him no and that rule only applies to a runner or after the batter has completed her time at bat. He said he is home team so he can finish at bat. I told him he forfeited game by not having batter up in 2 minutes after being warned and for delaying or hastening the game.

He wasn't very happy. I'm still looking for the "one swing to dugout rule".
