Check with your association and the league, this rule is put in place (the only way I've ever seen it anyway) for "batted balls".
The OP, that's the SS's throw all the way. How can an umpire be expected to judge what the defenses rotations or pre-determined coverages are?

As the experst in the rules of slowpitch softball the league's umpires should get together as a group and tell the "idiots" who wrote the rule that it is a stupid and unenforcable rule.

Now, now, come on, let the guys play too.
The league we worked not only had this rule, but also an encroachment line. When the ladies came to bat, no outfielder could come closer than a line drawn from foul to foul line 200' from HP until the ball was hit, they played on a well crowned BB field, sheesh, you couldn't even see the line unless you were about 2b, talk about unenforceable.

I stand with Stu. This is nothing more than folks screwing around with the game.
Yes, it is Co-rec, but the teams will police themselves.
