The WCWS is upon us. Check out ESPN's Graham Hays for an analysis of what to expect.
I was surprised to see that Washington's Daniel Lawrie was one of the top two pitchers in the country this year. I saw her play in the regionals and opposing teams were definitely hitting off of her. Anyway, looking forward to seeing some of the tournament when I return. (Not big into softball here. But my father did sit next to a young English on the plane who said softball was big in England.)

I'm slightly sceptical about your English person who reckoned that softball is big in England. I know that there have been some attempts to promote it, and the GB team did nearly qualify for the Olympics on one occasion but I don't know of anywhere it is played. Perhaps this person meant rounders which most people do play at school as children. Katharine Sinderson UK
According to my father, from whom I received the information, the young woman said slow-pitch softball was big in England--so not the softball that we see played at the international level.
