Had this one once - Home team had a fairly wild pitcher (surprise) - she would hit like one batter an inning - nothing serious, just a bouncer here, a little nick there SO...in like the 5th, guess what - another HBP. Visiting coach comes out and goes like this:

COACH: Hey blue, that's five

ME: Huh?

COACH: That's five...thats the fifth batter she's hit

ME: And?

COACH: She has to leave the game

ME: Why?

COACH: That's the rule!

ME: Not here....

I found out later that was, of course a LL rule...

Oh - after the NEXT one, I slowly took off my mask, took two steps towards the H dugout, and just LOOKED at the coaches, with my hands kind of out, as if to say, 'Well?" They took her out of the game - finally...

Really?
It's been a while since I've done LL, but I'd be surprised if Little League actually made that a rule.

Perhaps you are talking about an unauthorized "local" rule, or possibly a rec. league that isn't officially Little League.

According to Rich Ives earlier in this thread, it has never been a LL rule.
