In the championship game of 18+ tournament a starting pitcher had mirrored sunglasses above her visor bill. Two different batters in different innings politely and discretely informed the umpire that the sun was reflecting off the mirrored sunglasses the opposing coach talked to the umpires between innings but the umpire refused to rule. It was clear that the mirrored sunglasses were not being worn and were placed above the visor to distract the batters.
Before someone comments about excuses or sour grapes you should know sunglasses team lost. Most of the women playing 18+ are college players and know the rules. This was a safety issue and luckily none of the several inside fastballs hurt anyone who couldn’t see it coming. When the team realized the mirrored sunglasses were being questioned several other fielders started placing sunglasses above their visor bill.
