USA Softball International Cup

I've caught a few of these games. The USA plays Japan for the championship at 1PM central time on Sunday.

It's interesting that they have a 20 second 'shot clock', for lack of a better term. The clock starts when the catcher gets the ball and the pitcher has 20 seconds to throw her pitch.

Is this going to be adopted by the NCAA? Thoughts????

A clock for batters to get in the box would be helpful.

I had assumed the 20 second limit was to insure that the pitcher didn't take too much time between pitches but I guess it would stop batters from stepping out of the batters box for too long, too.

Giselle is on the Puerto Rico team. They mentioned yesterday that she had been there earlier in the tournament and had to go back to Norman. They said she would join the PR team for the PanAm games.
