So yeah, it would be less important to send a kid from second to home on a defensive miscue to win a game than it would be to hold that kid up at third and get the next kid up a chance to hit and drive in a run. In the spring? Definitely sending the kid home.

That's a disintinction I can't draw, it's pretty much a year-round sport here (not just for travel teams, HS plays separate fast-pitch and slow-pitch seasons, one in spring & one in fall. I can't keep straight which done when). I think rec leagues are spring BUT I'm not sure how many pure rec leagues are even left at this point, seems like most travel to some extent anymore for softball.
