Since the mounds are set at a shorter distance that a full-sized field, the pitching plate for softball actually was a couple of feet up the front slope of the mound.

Isn't it about time everyone stood up for equality of genders?

I'd rather watch women's fastpitch than MLB game. far more action, and the hotties.

And stop being self-serving sexists.

To be fair, this school has been around since the 50's- probably before girl's fastpitch was given much thought as a varsity sport. The way the neighborhood grew up around their property, they are kind of "land locked" and couldn't squeeze in another field if they wanted to- and the baseball field was there first.

I know that their girl's teams in other sports have equitable facilities and their girl's basketball team won a state title a few years back. Their varsity softball game was being played on the field next to my JV game and it was on a nice regulation softball field.

The school and property itself are going through heavy remodeling, but I'm not sure if the new configuration will allow them to build a softball field on-site.
