I called...

tourney director modified the tie breaker for 10-under slow pitch to 2 outs, runner on second, and a 3-2 count on the batter.

It only went 1 inning but talk about pressure on these youngsters...

This is going to end the game more quickly? Giving a kid one pitch, and then having to change sides and repeat?

Not to mention that if they get the runner to 3rd, they can't get "steal" home.

Hmmm.... if the tournament is going to have a local tie breaker rule for 10U, it would be a lot more reasonable to start with the bases loaded and suspend the 10U baserunning restrictions. That would almost guarantee somebody scores 2 or 3 runs! All you need to have is they don't both score the same number of runs.
