little league game-my son is the bu.the situation is 1 out and runner on first. the batter hits the ball off the plate, it hits him and then rolls about 6 feet in fair territory towards the pitcher. the plate ump finally calls it fair and the batter finally runs to first and makes it with no play on him. my son saw the play as i have described. what should he have done had there been a play at first? what should he had done,if anytrhing since he was not asked for help by the pu.the defense did not challenge the call.the batter was in the box when the ball hit him.

Archangel is correct that sometimes the BU has to kill the ball on a ball off the batter. Unless you 100% sure it was in the box then call time and say it's off the batter. The PU then determines from the timing if he was in the box or in fair when the ball touched him. If it touches him in fair and you call it foul then you are in for a firestorm.
