Little League does NOT have a "courtesy runner" rule per-se as you may be used to in HS.
Little League's rule is:
RULE 7.14
Once each inning a player who has not appeared in the batting order may be used as a special pinch-runner for any offensive player. The player for whom the pinchrunner runs is not subject to removal from the lineup. If the pinch runner remains in the game as a substitute offensive player or batter, the player may not be used again as a pinch-runner.
It's called a Special Pinch Runner (SPR) in LL. It can only be used once per inning. It can only be a player who has not yet been in the lineup (This means if Billy started and was removed for a sub he cannot be a SPR). The runner may run for anyone. You must anounce him as a SPR, otherwise he is considered an ordinary substitute.
Hope this helps.
