We have a couple of girls (including my DD and both our pitchers) who end up in tears when they don't excel. They expect a lot of themselves, and are still learning how to deal with their emotions when they fail. In general, I don't have a problem with it at the 8U level. It shows they care, are trying their hardest, and are competitors at heart. Teaching them to let it go so they can move on to the next thing is one of the lessons to be learned at this level.
What a heartbreaker

This is great advice for you too, remember these are 8 and 9 year old girls. Your dd will bounce back from this and it will make her a better player. Next time she will not only be expecting the throw to come to her, she will want it.
