Batters don't hit fastballs, riseballs, changeups, or drops...they hit mistakes.
In the bottom of the 10th, Rachel Garcia was up. On a 1-2 count, Washington pitcher Gabby Plain was trying to throw a low, inside change. She had some drop spin on the ball, so the intent was for the ball to be shin height at the plate.
Plain was excited (of course), and either threw the ball too fast or released too late. The ball was probably thigh height over the plate, and then the ball was 30 feet in the air as it left the park.
