FED: I had an absolutely brutal hit in a U14 travel league game this year. The catcher was standing there waiting for the runner and not prepared to have a felonious assault on his person. It was BAD. Somehow, the catcher was not injured. I called Time and ejected the kid and looked at the 3rd base coach-we both reaized that he had 9 players that day and this double header was ending in the 1st inning of game two.(always get your cash BEFORE the first pitch:-)

I had a malicious contact in the LL Juniors District on a stolen base attempt.
