slowpitch
Underhand lob game
Slowpitch is a variety of softball where the pitcher delivers the ball in a high arc rather than fast and flat.
The slow, looping trajectory—typically required to reach a certain height—gives batters time to set up and swing, making the game more offense-oriented than fastpitch.
Also spelled slow-pitch or slow pitch.
We play slowpitch on Thursday nights.
