"Do both teams use the same lines?
Thats a good point, but to me, it's a little beside the point. As a coach of girls' sports,we struggle to be taken seriously as it is. Although I'm sure it is not intentional, it seems like this is another case of, "It's just girls softball. Get the lines down and let's play."
I wonder what the response would be if a coach brought his team to a basketball game, and the free-throw or 3-point lines were four inches off. Granted, they are painted on and therefore not able to be changed. But that's just it...these lines could have been changed to make them correct, but it didn't seem to matter to anyone that they weren't.
I catch a lot of grief from the girls on the team for being so consumed with seemingly minute details, but it seems to me that if we are going to ride on a bus for two hours to play on their field, the least they could do would be to have it marked correctly.
