Folsom Little League Coach Under Fire After Post-Game Insult

FOLSOM (CBS13) - A Little League coach admits he went too far -- with a post-game comment that sent a young player home in tears.

Folsom Angel's pitcher Will Schmidt gave up two grand slams during a game two weeks ago solidifying a victory for the *opposing team -- the Rangers.

During the post-game line up, instead of exchanging a handshake or kind words, the coach on the winning team admits he sarcastically told Will "Nice grand slams".

The boy's mom says her son never wants to pitch again.

"I mean that's like twisting the knife into a kid who's already down," said Will's mom, Catherine Schmidt.

The Folsom American Little League Vice President says this is the first time Ranger's coach Greg Robertson's been in hot water so they allowed him to continue coaching.

"Managers and coaches and players and parents all say things in Little League that they probably shouldn't," said Folsom American Little League Vice President Joanne Brausch.
 
Robertson's since apologized to Will through a letter and phone call.
