This is one reason I'm glad that Calvin isn't really into team sports.
Sorry to hear about it, but maybe there is another league? I don't know the structure of things, but when I was a kid there was at least always a pickup game to be played. If he can keep his love of the game and find others to practice with, then when he hits HS he can start playing organized ball again.
I coached t-ball when Calvin was 6 and I had a few parents complain because my practices were "silly" and that they weren't going to help them win games. I had them sitting on the ground rolling balls to each other, doing races around the bases, along with typical hitting and fielding. My reasoning was that they are 6 years old, it should be fun, and they need to learn eye-hand coordination and the basics. But some parents just cared about the end result...can't have their son/daughter on a losing team.
I remember when I was in little league, I was on some losing teams but I didn't really care. Because I was playing baseball. Geez, who cares if you lose? It's a game, and what better place to learn those lessons...
