Unless the umpire is actually keeping track of substitutions at the little league level.... And I would find that hard to believe.

In both regular season and tournament play, Little League has some fairly complicated substitution/re-entry rules that must be tracked by the plate umpire. In some locales, some, most or all of these tracking responsibilities are delegated to an official scorer. These rules stand separate from the mandatory play regulation.
