Yes I think arlington heights won. I also read somewhere one of their pitchers threw 20 innings in about 3 days. nice
Arlington Heights did win it. The kid threw a lot but not 20 innings in 3 days.
I think the Herald said he threw a complete game on Wednes evening and then closed the first game on saturday and then threw a complete game on saturday afternoon. I wasn't there but that is how it was reported, if it is true that would be about 20 as they are playing 9 inning games at that point of the tournament.
That's just crazy if that actually happened. Some of these coaches are too much...
We can always compalain about the coaches letting things like this happen but at some point it is up to the player(especially at that age level) to refuse to pitch without the proper rest for his arm. Almost every player I know does not want to let down their team, but there is a big difference between a player sitting out with a minor injury when he could actually be playing and the proper revocery time for a pitcher's arm.
