Stretching "injury" and that rule's point is being ok to interrupt a play.
But then, player safety is a priority, too late to research tonight.

Understood that I can stop the game for medical attention. It was when both coach and mom seemingly were letting a girl who was obviously not in any condition to play continue that I wondered if I had any rule book authority in the matter.

I remember a game when a catcher took a foul ball in the mask hard enough that she could not stand up, obvious concussion symptom. She left the game. Later that day, I saw her playing OF on another field. Told the UIC and he went to her coach. Saw her leave that game, but no idea if an order or persuasion; probably something strong knowing that UIC. The coach was her father.
