softball field

Infield and outfield

A softball field is the diamond-shaped playing area where softball is played, smaller than a baseball field with base paths of 60 feet rather than 90.

The infield is typically all dirt, and the pitcher throws from a flat circle rather than a raised mound.

We reserved the softball field for Saturday's tournament.
