Here in Israel, we have some pretty intense heat as well, but most (not all) of our games are played in the evening, under the lights. Costs a bit more, but it's a lot nicer to play, I can tell you that.

You gotta remember, that wasn't in the air, or in the shade, it was sitting right on the ground, where the catcher sits. Now, figure about another 10 degrees for the gear she's wearing. Show this number to a coach and they'll start taking care of their players most of the time. They think it's only 107 degrees, like the players in the outfield. They obviously never played catcher or called a game behind the plate.
