The leagues need to adopt rules to prevent this sort of BS. The league by daughter played in when she was 8 had a rule that you could only take 1 base on an overthrow to keep the game some what realistic. They also had a max runs per inning rule.
I don't think the ultra-competitiveness is the reason kids quit playing. I think they learn that they don't like to play or they would rather spend their time doing something else.
It all depends on the kid.
