Intentional HBP What to do?
Had a game 2 nights ago with 15 and under girls FP.Player was HBP on 1st pitch, at the end of the inning assistant coach informed me that his player was hit intentionally by Pitcher. I laughed and said to myself no way. Next time up same girl was drilled in her lower back by Pitcher again on 1st pitch.I stopped the game and brought out the other coach and warned him that if the same girl was HBP he and his Pitcher would be ejected for Unsportsman's like conduct. Wouldn't you know next time at bat same girl is hit again in her foot area. (Parents are screaming on both sides) I ejected both Pitcher and Coach, before leaving field Coach that was ejected announced he was protesting game. Note that this was the only Player that was hit during the game. Also player that was hit 3x said there was a problem between her the pitcher and catcher in a diffrent league in the Spring. Please state how you would have dealt with the situation
