New Pitching Rules - Little League

[craigwojo]

I fully understand of the reason to implement the rule for saving the kids arm. I am all in favor for that.

What I was wondering is why is the and a game added to the rule. If the rest period has a game within it; then there would be no reason to put and a game, because he/she couldn't pitch anyways.

There just has to be a game between the two times he pitches. It matters not when the game is. The "and a game" part is there to make him take it off even if it is after his rest period.
