Little League has its own rules

Wow, that is certainly going to be news to a lot of LL coaches in this league!
Many youth leagues require only "removal from the mound" on the second trip; not "removal from the game."
Little League (tm) requires neither on the second visit in an inning. On the third trip in an inning, he must be removed as pitcher, though not substituted for.
