Hit By Pitch Limits in High School Softball: What You Need to Know

Question
Is there a limit on how many girls a pitcher can hit in a game?  The
opposing pitcher hit 7 of our batters tonight and really hurt 2 of
them."

Answer
Joe,

I like to answer it this way.  There is no limit to the number of runners you can get on base due to hit by pitches.  I know it is tough on the girls, but this is how it is.  

Hopefully the opposing coach will pull the pitcher.  My daughter threw very hard, reletively speacking when she was eleven and had not found her control completely.  I took her out after hitting 6 batters in two innings.  She hit the 6th one while I was warming up another pitcher to get her out.
