This is so comical yet so true. I've seen huge mismatches at softball tournaments, teams matched up against each other that have no business playing. The underdog team throws its girl that can't even hit 50 mph, and the other team's hitters can't touch it for a few innings. Eventually they figure it out. But it's hard to slow down that much when you're used to mid 60s every game.
Two years ago, my daughter was thrown to the wolves in a tournament. She was an emergency pitcher and hadn't thrown since the season before. The first game they had the number one ranked team two classes bigger then them. After two innings, they were in the game. My daughter has a glitch in her pitching that allows her to handcuff the batters right at kneecaps to midthigh, with a natural curve ball, but not a fast pitcher by any means. The third inning, they had seen her and the bottom fell out of the game (along with about 6-7 errors). She was just slower than they were used to and it took them a time to see her to get adjusted.
