The Head Coach went to the little girl, apologized to her for what had happened and to her team. He then asked me to remove his assistant coach from the field. I refused, as I, in my mind, had no reason to, yet. He then went and told her she wasn't needed anymore, to go into the stands. I mentally applauded him for this.
I also commend the HC for apologizing and removing the assistant, but he could have stopped it when he asked about repercussions. It's a bit insincere to get the result first, then "stand on principle".

I saw the coach of the little CF about a year later and he told me she quit playing after that game and had never come back.

One of the saddest stories I've ever been involved in on a softball field. I think everyone involved felt dirty after this.
Agree!

I realize in today's times that some hard decisions need to be made in these situations, especially in the adult legues, as things can occur like what was originally presented to us. If the guy is still a male, awaiting a sex change operation, let him play in the male leagues.
Agree, but the word is gender.
