Ball pitched and hit without umpire calling "play"
Thanks in advance as I can't find this in the rulebook. Little League minors AA: Situation is very beginning of the game, umpire calls the batter into the box, defense is ready, and the pitcher throws a pitch. (Not sure if the outcome matters) Batter singles up the middle. After kid is on 1b the umpire calls him back because he never called the ball into play. Should the play stand or not? I'm assuming this could also apply after any dead ball. Appreciate the help!
