I was at a game today and observed an interesting play. This is a LL game. Runner had left early, BU has seen this and has indicated by dropping hat. Runner does a head first slide into second. There was no throw and no play on the runner. From my vantage point it looked like the base runner tripped on something and fell forward. The umpire ruled runner left early, since no play on runner at 2nd runner returns to first.
Is this the correct call?
