It was against Centennial. The 2nd baseman for Denison launched a throw at some kids standing between the 1B dugout and the batting tunnel. I believe the Denison coach removed the kid from the game immediately. Criminal charges were being considered at one point because one of my umpires was subpoenaed. I don't know how it played out.
Yeah, the parents of the kid injured were very upset, understandably. I later heard from them that the Denison player had been in trouble before. I never asked what happened. I know it was tough for the injured kid to have his mouth wired-shut for several weeks.
