Terry-
We are having trouble finding the rules about substituting pitchers in girls softball. We are thinking a starting pitcher may only return to the mound once after having been taken out and a sub once taken out cannot return but a second sub maybe used.

GIRLS SOFTBALL PITCHING RULE

It states in the girls rule book that a pitcher may be removed as pitcher and return to pitch one time per inning as long as the visitation rule has not been in affect. For example, in the second inning your pitcher is struggling so you take her off the mound and switch her with the first baseman who comes in to pitch. A couple of batters later your first baseman who is pitching can't get the ball across the plate. You can move her back to first and bring your original pitcher back into the game as pitcher. If you would need to, later in that inning you could bring your first baseman back in also, but in this example your original pitcher could not come back in again in this inning.

Any pitcher who is removed due to the fourth visit to the field cannot return as pitcher. A trip to the field to remove a pitcher does not count as one of your four trips.
