It was the coach/team that was in their 4th game. Not sure how many games the kid pitched in. However, had they won a game, they would of played a 5th game in two days.

I know its a lot, but 5 games is fairly typical for a weekend tournament.

I probably over analyzed the situation and your right, the kid was likely fine and back to having fun throwing rocks at the school bus the next morning. It just looked like he was suffering and it was obvious to everyone in the park. Had to be the coaches son. Cause I would think any non-coach father would of intervened. Sad thing is, I've seen this on more than one occasion in the last couple years. (Fathers forcing their kids to pitch while the kid was complaining of arm pain.)
