L.L. JR.'s 9th player gets injured no subs

[mepetty]

During a game a visiting team only has 9 players, they are 0n defense kid gets hurt with two outs. Says he is able to continue (small mouse around eye, small cut, no real bleeding)' the coach moves him to right field. He looks ok to go. Four runs later the team get it's third out, team now behind. As the kid passes me I see blood streaming down his face and the kid is crying. I stop him he says his eye is killing him, I tell the coach. I know the kid (small town) and get his parents over to see him. His parents take kid to Dr. right now. Everyone is worried about the kid and say safety first, everything is great, except the kid is up. One coach is saying you just give the team an out when he comes to bat and call game when they go back out to field. Other coach says game is done because they can't field 9. Partner agrees and ends the game, says that giving the team an out only applys to travel ball not L.L. Not sure of Rule or which rule it might be under. Again this is L.L. Jr.'s. What about High School, Travel Ball etc

In LL you cannot play with less than 9. If a team cannot field 9 players the game is halted and the BoD decides what to do next.

In HS you can finish with 8 - auto out.

There is no common "travel ball" rule set - you'd have to know what rules were in effect for that particular game.

+1 LL you are done but not necessarily a forfeit. HS you can finish with an out. I love when they say that's a travel ball rule. As rich says, there are many flavors of travel ball and it is disappointing to hear an umpie say things like that.

I saw that there were no subs, but was there players on the bench? If so, I believe the opposing team would be able to pick from the players on the bench so play could continue.

I know that is a Babe Ruth Rule but not sure about LL

It's a LL rule also.

I assumed when he said no subs he meant there was nine. With extra guys the opposing manager picks the sub.
