Is the answer both coaches should be suspended for allowing a high school kid pitch 11 innings in one day!! That is reckless in my humble opinion.
Pitch Count? Maybe on low side in a 2-1 ball game? But 11 innings.... I can only wonder what the pitch count actually was.
Why isn't pitch count part of the NHIAA's equation. Too difficult to police?
I've seen guys throw 100 pitches in 4 innings (Dice K comes to mind) and others throw 100 in 10.

I thought the 9 inning rule was for playoffs only, see for sure:

Here's the rule and it states that it holds for all levels for the entire season.
B. A pitcher shall throw no more than fifteen (15) innings in a seven (7) day period with no more than nine (9) innings in a day.
I wonder if they also broke the "no more than 15 innings in a 7 day period" portion of the rule?

Thanks - my browser isn't loading the PDF - probably time for a reboot.
That means Alvirne is guilty too from their game against Exeter, see:

The 15 over 7 days is "on the coach" that is - who else it going to police it unless signed pitching logs must be sent in after every game to the NHIAA...

Ok, read the article. It looks like Alvirne has violated the pitching rule as well.
Wow.
Is it that important to win a high school baseball game that a coach needs to keep a pitcher in for 10 or 11 innings?
Granted we don't know the # of pitches, but there is a rule on innings. I'm a little surprised if a long time coach does not know the pitching rules. The Alvirne coach knew right away 2 years ago when my son's team tried to bring in a pitcher that did not have 3 days off after pitching more than 5 innings in a game.
NHIAA indicates:
B. A pitcher shall throw no more than fifteen (15) innings in a seven (7) day period with no more than nine (9) innings in a day.
D. Any team in violation of rules A, B, and C above shall forfeit games in which a violation occurs.
So, it seems it should be a loss for both teams since they both violated the rule.
