I've seen timers on the fence hit and broken. My daughter fouled one off into such a timer last July, but I think she only broke the clip (i.e. the timer still functioned) It wasn't the first I've seen that happen to.
BTW, the softball isn't 12 sq inches. The surface area would be 45.84 square inches for a 12 linear inch diameter ball. The cross section would be 11.46 square inches (which is a lot closer to 12 inches than I thought it would be before I did the math).
