While on base, the DH may be replaced by a "Special Pinch Runner" once during the game under Rule 7.14.

Lou,
Any reason why the DH cannot be replaced by a regular pinch runner and only a "Special Pinch Runner"?
Thanks

There are no "regular" pinch runners in Little League and there are also no "courtesy" runners.

A "regular" pinch runner is really just an ordinary substitute.
If you sub for the DH it's just like subbing for anyone else.
Re-entry rules would apply.
