Softball umpires work 2-3 games a night and, in slowpitch, have a ball in play nearly 100 per cent of the time.
A slow pitch umpire, on an average night, will outrun a baseball umpire( who works one game) 2-1 in distance. The slowpitch umpire will make more calls and interpret more rules in that same evening, not to mention hearing more gripes.
Further, most slow pitch games, and many girls's softball games, are officiated
by one umpire.
