Balls & strikes

Have a weird setup for my daughter's 10U fastpitch league.

It is kid pitch, but after 4 balls the coach comes into pitch. The strike count stays the same and the ump will call strikes, so the batter can still strike out. IMHO the rules for this are not good. I understand why some one had this thought, but it does develop bad habits for some of the girls.

So obviously this creates a challenge for me in using iScore. I can record a strikeout without any issues. What do I do about the ball situation though? Is there any way I can accomplish this? I would like to know how many times the coach needs to come in. What batters are hitting off of girls and which ones off of coaches.

I am new to iScore and not sure what if any work arounds to try. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

If you truly want to track hits off coaches vs players, you will have to create a "Coach" player for each team. When 4 balls are reached, instead of entering the 4th ball, substitute in the Coach pitcher. After the player completes their at bat, substitute the correctpitcher back in.
