Unless the batter/runner is slow it's tough to get the 6-4-3 double play with the shorter bases in softball. Keep in mind that 60 feet v. 90 feet is a big difference. So is the larger ball we use. It's easier for big, strong boys to snap a smaller ball around the field.
So you need to know the situation. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try, but be realistic. Make sure you're not making throws just to make throws when there's no chance of getting the second runner.
