In softball that can be done. I remember a few years ago where VT had the best picture in college and they were a top 10 program. I think she pitched every inning that year for VT.

You may be remembering Angela Tincher, who played for the Hokies from 2005-2008 and took the Hokies to the College World Series in 2008.

That year, she pitched a crazy 344 innings, striking out 679 batters. Unfortunately for her, she had very little hitting support or the Hokies might have won it all.

No we have others who can pitch very well too. But playing double headers every day or every other day is a tough stretch for any team.

Guimbarda and caymol are excellent players as well.

I enjoy women's softball but don't understand its basics. How can someone pitch every game in softball but in baseball, they need at least 3 days rest ? Is it because it is under handed ?

Yes. Throwing over the shoulder is a very unnatural

motion and is not good for the body hence all of the arm injuries that plague baseball pitchers.

The 43 feet between home and mound is a big difference than the 60.5 feet for baseball. As stated earlier the underhanded delivery saves the arm a ton of wear and tear.
