IMO, MAJOR problem in youth sports. This is 10 yr. old baseball WHO CARES who wins.
no matter what sport at that age it should be about teaching / developing NOT who wins and loses.
It's the ADULTS who filed the protest to win a GAME in which they got drilled.
What ever happened to the good ole days of pick-up games where we made up our own rules / no umpires / no coaches and simply played.
