Youth ball?  You can't call a 12-14 youth game solo with any degree of accuracy - might as well have no umpires.  I believe I can only recall being asked to call 14U solo one time in my far too many years of this.

 99% of the travel games in Minnesota, 10U - 18U, are one umpire.
Fact of life in Minnesota.
The leagues would rather put up with missed calls than pay for a second umpire.
