He was near to the duck but unsure of his intentions to scare or hit the duck. Most likely to scare it off. Unfortunately he's a kid who has a history of bad behavior, bullying and what not and that plays against him in everyone's eyes.
He was benched in the other dugout and I wasn't able to get a good look to see if he was remorseful or not. When I walked by the dugout with him in it I heard the team's manager talking to him sternly. One of their recent games they decided to forfeit due to this boy's unsportsmanlike behavior and the fact that they were down a player already. Taking him out of the game caused them to not have enough players to field a team. That actually almost happened to us last night against them because one of our hot heads made a significant error at the half of the game and pretty much gave up all hope and started throwing his glove to the fence in the outfield when he then missed an impossible fly ball.
