What do the numbers mean next to the error stats?
For score-keeping purposes, every defensive position is assigned a number. This number has nothing to do with the number on the back of a player's uniform. The scoring numbers are: 1 -- pitcher 2 -- catcher 3 -- first base 4 -- second base 5 -- third base 6 -- shortstop 7 -- left field 8 -- center field 9 -- right field so a scoredcard reading, for example, "E-6", would mean an error on the shortstop.
Can a batter bat in an inning he didn't field in little league baseball?
If you are generically using the word "little league" then the answer is yes. Under USSSA rules you can bat the entire lineup and after the 9th batter the remainder are called EH's (extra hitters) or terms similar. These individuals will not take the field but bat when the 10 & 11 slots come up.
If you are speaking of Little League Baseball Rules (official term) then I believe you bat 9 and have substitutions.

If a player is hit by the pitch and later scores is the run earned or unearned?
Depends on what happened in the inning prior to and after the batter is hit. Assuming that no errors or passed balls occur, the run will be scored an earned run. If the inning is extended by an error, or the runner scores because of an error or passed ball, the run would be unearned.
What is a home run connection?
Typically, I've heard this term used by industrial electricians. It means that a single cable, or single conductor is used to connect a device at one end, and the other end of the wire is connected directly to where it needs to be.
For example; a temperature probe (in a large industrial cookie oven) has one cable connected to it, and the other end of the cable goes directly to the device that monitors the oven temperature. There are no junction boxes, wire nuts, or splices used anywhere for a device's wiring connection. Make sense???
It's up to the umpire's discretion. They can call the pitch a strike even if it hits someone leaning over the plate.
