| A women-only sport, softball is played on a diamond, composed of an interior field (18m each side) bordered by three bases and a home plate, and an exterior field, which is more flexible - although the distance from home plate to the outfield fence must be 61m.There are seven alloted innings. In each inning both teams bat. A team scores a point when a player has made a full tour of the field, passing over the three outfield bases and returning to the home plate.Softball differs from baseball in that the ball is larger, the bat is shorter and the pitcher must throw the ball underarm.
