Reminders:

Only softball bats may be used in softball games. Baseball bats, T-ball bats and “coach pitch” bats are not allowed. The first infraction for a non-baseball bat being used in a game will result in the bat being removed from the game and the batter being called out

Illegal pitches, as defined in USA (formerly ASA) Official Rulebook, Rule 6 – Pitching Regulations (Fast Pitch) will be called by umpire(s).

–   A verbal warning will be given to the pitcher on the first offense.
–   Second and subsequent offenses will result in a ball on the batter.
