What do I record if a game is protested or suspended?
Rule- USA
- Little League Baseball
- Major Division
- League age 9-12
- 12 and under
- Regular season
- 2026 rules
- Scorekeepers
Note the exact situation at the moment of the protest or suspension:
- the score
- the number of outs
- where any runners are
- the ball and strike count on the batter
Also record each pitcher's pitch count and any mound visits charged. A suspended game resumes from the exact point it stopped and is treated as the same game, so visits carry over. If a protest is upheld, the game resumes from the point of the infraction, so your record is what the league uses to restart it.
If there's a question about a pitcher's eligibility, the Official Scorer's record is treated as official.
