Just in case anyone thinks this is a good idea, a little story...
I was at my son's winter ball LL game and the ump didn't show up. I had my gear in my truck, but no uniform, no jock, and no place to change. I figured that this was 9-11 year old ball, I'd just throw the gear on over my clothes and help out. Not having anywhere to change or a jock, I didn't wear a cup.
Between innings, I was explaining to a coach why the hands aren't part of the bat when the 10yo pitcher warming up lost his grip and the ball came sailing my way. Didn't even see it coming. Sometime next month I'm having my second surgery to correct the problems that this caused. (But I finished the game).
Wear a cup. No matter what.

Sounds like you didn't really have your gear in the truck. My cup is part of my gear. IF, I was going to do a winter league 9-11 year old LL game by myself without a cup, I would do it from behing the mound.
