Have you been wondering why people at the ball field are worried about the "pitch count"? Counting the number of pitches thrown by a pitcher was instigated to protect Little League pitchers from damaging their developing arms from overuse. Consequently, the following standards are adhered to for AAA and Majors players.
Maximum number of pitches allowed:
9 and 10 yrs old: 75 pitches
11 and 12 years old: 85 pitches
(A pitcher can continue pitching past the limit until the current batter is out.)
Pitchers league age 16 and under must also adhere to the following rest requirements:
If a player pitches 61 or more pitches in a day, three (3) calendar days of rest and a game must be observed.
If a player pitches 41-60 pitches in a day, two (2) calendar days of rest and a game must be observed.
If a player pitches 21-40 pitches in a day, one (1) calendar day of rest must be observed.
If a player pitches 1-20 pitches in a day, no (0) calendar day of rest is required.

The game Sunday was very tightly contested but our All-Stars came out on the short side of a 6-5 final score. Well done Minors team.

Behind 5 2/3 innings of great pitching from Niko Formosa, the Angels prevailed in the deciding game of the 3 game playoff to decide the Majors Division champion for 2009. The Rays led a tightly contested game through the early innings but a 4 run ouburst in the 4th sealed the deal for the Angels. They will now go on to represent SRALL in this year's Tournament of Champions. Congratulations to the Angels and the Rays on great seasons. For more pictures from the Angels' great year, click here.

Aside from fundamental baseball skills, one of the great lessons to be learned from Little League baseball is teamwork. But this lesson is not only valid for the players on the field and in the dugouts, it is for the Little League community as a whole.
The success of the league depends on the efforts of the coaches, the managers, the umpires, the volunteers in the snack bar and on the board of directors. And it also depends on those who just want to watch their kids play the great American pastime in a safe and healthy environment.
Among the many, many positives that have occured out at Monroe Fields this season, there have been some unfortunate areas of concern. One is the behaviour of a very few fans in the stands who have not taken taken the "Parents Code of Conduct" to heart. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of a game played on the field, but please keep your energy and responses positive.
Also, there have been many incidents in the parking lots before, during and after games that are creating an unsafe environment and creating difficulties with the surrounding neighborhood. Many hours and dollars have been put into upgrading our parking facilities in recent years. However, our success as a league means that even with the upgrades, at busy times, the parking can still not accomodate all of the drivers that would like to park there. Fire lanes are marked and signed for a reason. These areas are OFF LIMITS. It is illegal to park there as doing so will prevent access by fire equipment if needed for a fire or medical emergency at our fields. Offending drivers will be ticketed and/or towed. Please take responsibility. Some drivers are also driving unsafely in the lots. The fields are here for kids. Kids do not always exercise the best caution in and around cars. Drivers behave proactively and exercise the needed caution and restraint to make our parking lot safe. Finally, do not use your horns unless absolutely necessary. The residences surrounding the fields can hear every honk of the horn that is made. Don't provide them with reasons to regret living next to such a valuable community asset.
Thanks for your cooperation.
