In the context of softball, the context is absolutely clear and making the verb into a gerund is a function of our linguistic box. Language evolves and you ain't telling me what it means. No sexual context is implied. In my Alice in the Wonderland, the word means exactly what I say it does.

Might be why there is value in knowing your audience??

Doesn't always matter what you think it means!!
