Okay, I'm bored.

A lacrosse ball is the solid rubber ball that is used to play lacrosse. It is usually between 7.75 and 8 inches in circumference (about 2.5 inches in diameter) and weighs between 5 and 5.25 ounces.

A baseball is generally between 9 and 9¼ inches in circumference (about 2.9 to 2.9 inches in diameter) and 5 ounces in weight.

For you physics buffs

5oz lacrosse ball @ 110mph = 126.40 foot-pound Kinetic Energy
5oz baseball @ 95mph = 94.28 foot-pound Kinetic Energy
