Beyond The Basics of Fastpitch Scoring

produced by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association

Introduction:
Written by Jeri Findlay, Head Softball Coach, Ball State University


Scoring in the game of fastpitch softball seems to be as diversified as the people playing it. In order to gain some uniformity, and at the same time, clear up some questions confronting scorekeepers on a daily basis, this guide has been compiled with help from the National Baseball Writer's Association College Baseball Scoring Manual (1975), the NCAA Baseball Rules (1988), the ASA Official Guide and Rule book (1988), the NAGWS Softball Guide (1988), the A.S.A. Scorers Manual (1988), and "The High Country Athletic Conference Scoring Standards." Thanks also to Joe Herandez, Sports Information, Ball State University.
