Had a rather substantial girl pitching 12U for me one year (about 5'9" and 165 lbs) who was clocking 57 - 59 mph with regularity. We were playing a rival so we knew all the girls on the other team and knew who their parents were. The skinny little SS on the other team had a loud-mouth mom who always got on my pitcher, saying how she was so big and that she drove her own car to the game and that she was a junior in high school and shouldn't be pitching on a 12U team (the girl was in the 7th grade).
This big girl liked to pitch inside to intimidate hitters and every once in awhile she'd hit a girl or at least make one get dirty. She got pretty close to one of the other team's girls and the girl went down (she didn't hit her, though) and that SS's mom jumped up and said, "Get that big ol' bitch out of there! And check her driver's license! She shouldn't be pitching!" The big girl heard her loud and clear.
The next inning, loud mouth's girl comes up to bat. The big girl rears back and unloads a wicked fastball that hits the girl right in the ribs. She had no chance to get out of the way and she just crumples to the ground, gasping for breath and trying to cry. My big pitcher looks up into the stands at loudmouth and gives her a big smirk ... which promptly brings loud mouth on a dead sprint out of the stands and toward the gate to the nearest dugout. The other team's 1B coach has to catch her around the waist and literally throw her to the ground to keep her from getting to our pitcher. I'm not sure what she would have done but the pitcher was bigger than she was, strong as an ox and obviously had a bit of a mean streak in her ... loud mouth may have had her hands full. The umpire threw loud mouth out of the park and we resumed play.
