| Feb. 3, 2018 desertlady | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 1-1 or 0-0 Count From the this lady's view: I just returned from the tournament in Palm Springs for Ladies only. 1-1 count with no foul for everyone. Not sure that the game was sped up since it seemed that not many teams got to the 7th inning anyway. It seemed like many of the players in all age brackets were not used to the 1-1 count - our seniors where I live don't use it in our rec leagues. I saw a lot of looking strike outs and frustration. I agree that it totally depends on the accuracy of the pitcher you are playing against but most players in the older age brackets are looking for their pitch rather than just hitting away. I'm a pitcher who usually throws mostly strikes so the 1-1 count was advantageous for me sometimes but I admit that when I am NOT on, the 0-0 count helps me control my game and challenges the batters to find/hit their pitch. It all goes back to the idea that slow pitch is a hitting game. Wish I would have voted on the count issue. |

| Sept. 20, 2015 desertlady | Topic: Women's softball Discussion: Visalia CA Senior Olympics adds 50's Women Softball Visalia Senior Olympics has added a Women's 50's class for slow-pitch softball. This is the first attempt for the Central Valley to promote the Senior Olympics so the women's class was a last minute addition. The dates are possibly October 22-23, 2015, an initial two-day event with goodie bags and a social. Fee's for a team are $140 and then each player must register and pay an individual fee of $25. Any 50's lady's team should contact the Visalia Senior Olympic website for more information. |
| Feb. 7, 2015 desertlady | Topic: Women's softball Discussion: Peoria tourney in March 2015 Backup pitcher (Linda with New Kids 65's) wants to play in Peoria on a 60 or 65 women's team. My team isn't going - am OK pitching/catching and base hitter usually but no guarantees. Am neither slow or fast. Email me at RQS7366@sbcglobal.net |
| Jan. 30, 2015 desertlady | Topic: Women's softball Discussion: Arizona Senior Olympics in Peoria So organizers told the 65's and 70's (women) that they only had 1 day available - several teams pulled out - then organizers changed to a 2-day tourney, Friday and Saturday for this age bracket. I know 3 teams pulled out but anybody know if any teams are going because I wanted to play and my team pulled. I am a backup pitcher that usually plays for New Kids 65's. Any info would be great. email: rqs7366@sbcglobal.net Thanks |

| May 22, 2007 desertlady | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Looking For Women 50's to Play in Portland July 14-15 Tami: Am finally better after hand surgery so would like to know if you still have any spots open. Remember, I always throw underhand, best at catcher, of, or 1st and maybe pitch (haven't tried slowpitch yet). I am older (62) than the ladies you have been talking to but am anxious to get back into playing especially travel. Let me know if you remember me (Fresno) and if I can be of any help to your team.

| April 26, 2007 desertlady | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Women 60 Team's Network Connie: I tried out for a 50 team (Got2playball2) and did ok but would really like to be on a 60 women's team if any in Calif are looking for another die-hard. Always throw underhand so probably best at catcher, 1st, haven't tried slow pitching but maybe pitching and love the outfield so can still run--average hitter. If you hear of any teams, please pass on my name. Thanks DESERTLADY |
