Clay corrects the coach

One thing I learned in all my years of playing is you do not correct the coach however, last night even the coach had a hard time disagreeing with an 8 year old. Clay's up to bat the second time he's got 1 strike and then the coach pitches the ball and hits him. The coach asked if he was ok and if he was ready for another ball. Clay dropped the bat put his hands on his hips and told the coach that he should get a walk for being hit. The game stopped for 5 minutes while the coach tried to explain to him that yes that is the correct rule but only in the older leagues. Clay's response was "I am in the older league! I'm 8" Well somehow we all convinced him he was right but we wanted to see him hit. Thank goodness he got a nice base hit.
