Local LL has for AAA implemented 5 run/inning limit thru first 4, not too bad. Has tried several variations on coach pitch in first half of season, mixed results.
Stranger is the local school (NFHS rules with local mods) rules for 12-14 (these are NOT beginners). Limited to 7 runs/inning unless you need more to catch up, then until 1 ahead. Anyone ever seen that?
And now the wierdest thing I've ever seen. Depending on how the coaches feel, some days, play 5, maybe declare the score final, then play another inning, keep the book, don't allow the outcome to change, don't count the inning against the pitcher, then go watch the baseball game that still isn't done, so the bus can't leave anyway. I once asked if the last inning isn't for real, if someone gets injured, does it not really hurt?
