Little League Def Conf

Under Little League (capital L's) rules, what is the rule on visits with the pitcher during regular season (I do remember that the regular season rulebook is different from tourney play). I do very little Little League and was unsure today.

On the 2nd visit in an inning or the 4th in the game, the pitcher must leave the mound.

I thought it was third of the inning. I might be wrong, but that it what is says here http://users.aol.com/rllinfo/rules2.htm. I don't have a real little league rule book.

LL rule book just says 3 per inning... some leauges will drop a 5 per game in there to prevent a coach from "playing the clock".

Sorry, you're correct. You need to remove the batter after the third visit in an inning (8.06(a)) or the fourth in a game (8.06(b)).

A pitcher may only be be visited twice during an at bat.
