QUESTION: my son played in the 12-year old all-stars and got 1 inning and one at-bat,ithoght he neededat least two innings in the field no ?
Answer Rob,
In the regular season, this would be correct. However, during all stars, teams play by a modified set of rules. One of the changes from regular season to all stars is the mandatory play requirement, which goes from two innings and one at bat to one inning and one at bat.
