Watching the CWS right not and it's 2-0 in the 8th inning. Vanda played 12 innings last night vs Zona.
Why doesn't softball play 9 innings?
Both baseball and softball play 7 in High School. Why does College Baseball play 9 and softball still play 7?
It's not the wear and tear on pitchers, baseball pitchers are way more limited on pitch counts and down time after pitching than softball.
Is it something old and unspoken, like the old men in charge, years ago, didn't think the girls could play as long as the boys? That was tennis' excuse as to why men played more sets than the ladies did?
Softball already has a much smaller field, much smaller basepaths and the players are close to the same size (I bet Alabama's softball team out weighs half the men's baseball teams in Omaha on avg per player) so shortening the games makes it seem likes it's just less of a sport.
Come on NCAA, let the ladies play 9, they can hack it.
