I think the boys should play the girls

in an exhibition slowpitch softball game every year. It could be an offseason thing or a "spring training" type game. But it would definitley sell out every year and bring a ton of fun and energy to both programs.

Anything that adds more entertainment to life is a good thing (just don't mess with football as that is serious)

The guys would hit about 30 home runs in a single game

you must have never played slow pitch softball. Theres a 5 homerun rule. anything after that is an automatic out.

is MUCH smaller, and rocket shots off the bat would be on the girls perhaps before they could even react. I see a recipe for disaster.

I play coed softball with several former NCAA D1 baseball and softball players. When your playing with a softball the ball and bats level the playing field. Dont sell them girls short. They can rip a ball harder than many of the boys.

Also, Im talking about slow pitch softball. Its not as you would think.

I tried that in HS Tennis. It didn't end well. Everyone called me "Mr. Riggs" afterward...

I think that would be very dangerous for whoever is pitching to our guys and very dangerous for an infielder that had to get in front of something off the bat from our guys lol. The baseball guys would be hitting balls 110+ MPH lol

Softball Is Physically Harder Than Baseball
A softball pitcher can’t throw topping around 70 mile-per-hour from 37 feet with the softball reaching the plate in .035 seconds. That’s actually faster than it takes a 100 mile-per-hour major-league fastball to reach the plate
