If a 12-year old girl can manage to catch, throw, and hit the 12" ball, what's the logic about going to the smaller ball once they're "grown up"?

And, if a woman is pitching in co-ed, why doesn't she get to throw the small ball?

Don't get all wound up - this is mostly rhetorical.
I have often wondered the same thing. My ASA state commissioner is going to try an invitational co-ed tournament with the men using a 14" ball and the women using a 12" ball...could be interesting to see how that works out.
