Question

for Chip or Mr William Floyd or anyone who has knowledge of the college softball rules. With Payton List arriving for next season and with her terrific pitching and hitting stats from high school and travel ball it's likely she will be in the pitching rotation when the season begins. With Coach Pete's history of not allowing his pitchers to bat here's my question. If Payton, or any one of our pitchers are not in the batting lineup but is the starting pitcher for that game, can that pitcher come in as a pinch hitter? And if so, can that pitcher continue pitching after her pinch hitting role? Just wondering as it would be cool to see one or more of our pitchers, if their hitting ability warrants, being given the chance to bat

This is the way it is in high school softball games.
