Thanks for the feedback. I am gong to let this one be a team decision.

Discussion: Are walks hits in Senior Softball?

I am having some controversy on my team. After playing this past weekend, some players are saying that walks (base on balls) should be counted as hits, for instance if you walked twice in a game, got one hit and one out you would be 3/4 (.750 BA) for that game. Others are saying that walks are not hits and like in the old days should not be counted for anything, no hit and does not count as an at bat. In the above scenario you would be 1/2 (.500 BA).

I haven't been playing senior softball all that long and maybe there is a rule where walks do count as hits. Any feedback would be appreciated.
