I saw a couple kids (2 or maybe 3) in that game that would be capable 12u Majors travel ball players. Go to East Cobb in Atlanta one weekend when they have a big tournament running and watch those 12u Majors teams play. Huge difference in pitching, and you’re not going to see multiple dropped fly balls, multiple errant throws, multiple routine ground balls getting kicked around and missed, and they dang sure aren’t playing on a girls softball field.

Went to East Cobb tournaments several times over the years when my oldest was playing ball. The teams he played with were always competitive but not with the top 3.
Was your son playing on a Majors division team? Lots of tourneys held at East Cobb are lower division. I have not seen a single team in the LLWS that would have even won a pool play game in the 12U majors division. Their playing on a little girls softball field and I've only seen a couple HRs throughout the entire tournament. If these were true majors division teams, you'd have 8 or 10 HRs per team/per game. Routine pop up outs would be HRs
