But she left the field

JV game yesterday. R1 on 3rd, B3 hits a screaming line drive that hits R1 (who is in foul territory) just about belt high. R1 immediately goes down crying in pain. I immediately call foul ball and summon the head coach (1st base box) over. I also call for the trainer to come out.

After a couple minutes she sits up and then is able to jog over to the dugout. At this point, now that I have the injured player taken care of, I ask the HC is he is going to sub for #15 (R1). He goes, I thought she was called out, she was hit with a batted ball. I said, it was a foul ball because she was in foul territory when it hit her (also, the ball had already passed F5 who was playing in expecting a bunt).

He then walks over the dugout where #15 is getting a drink and asks if she can continue. She says yes, and comes back out. As I am getting ready to go back behind the plate I hear the opposing coach call time. She comes out and wants to argue that #15 should be out for abandoning the base. I don't recall the exact response, but it was along the lines of, she was an obviously injured player, and I was giving her time to recover, which included going over to get a drink. (The defensive coach could not have heard the offensive coach say he thought she was out based on the volume of the conversation and where it happened).

I felt that giving an obviously injured player time to recover does not say she can't go get a drink from the dugout. Opinions?

The closest thing in the rulebook I can find is the blood rule. It does not specify that a player who is bleeding must get treatment on the field, only that they must get it treated and cleaned within a reasonable amount of time.
