==Gameplay==
As a softball sim, as opposed to the great number of baseball adaptations, there are a few differences in the rules. The most notable is that all the players and teams are female. The player also pitches with underhand lobs, and can score a ball if they toss it too high over the plate for the batter to reach. Players can either take on a pennant race type of single-player mode, or they can compete with a second player in any of the versus modes.
