How to Fill Out a Soft Ball Score Card

Filling out a softball scorecard can be fun and informative, whether for professional games or your church slow-pitch league. You use the the scorecard to mark down stats during the game as well as the score. Doing this every game allows you to tally up players' batting average in addition to the number of RBIs and hits they had through the duration of the season.

Instructions

    • 1

      Write out the date and time of the game at the top of the card, plus your opponent's name and if you are home or away.

    • 2

      Fill out the batting order with the top spot coming at the top all the way down to the ninth batter. Next to each batter write out his or her position.

    • 3

      Fill out the batting information as each batter comes to the plate. Next to the lineup you will find a nine-by-nine row of softball diamonds. If the first batter in the first inning hits a single, draw a line from home plate to first, representing a single. Write single in the square so you know what kind of hit it is. On the right side of the page there is an area where you can fill out the run, hit and RBI information (use this to tally up the totals at the end of the game).

    • 4

      Fill in the softball diamond of the batters if they score. This represents one run. At the end of each inning, count the number of filled-in softball diamonds, and this is how many runs scored.

    • 5

      Write 1, 2 or 3 in the diamond if the batter is out. Write GO for ground out, SO for strike out or FO for fly out.
