Only the starting pitcher may re-enter as a pitcher, one time providing she is eligible and has not been removed on a second trip to the mound. Once a pitcher is removed from the mound for any reason, she may not re-enter as a pitcher but may re-enter in any other position.

To the extent that one roster has more players than their opponent, before each game begins, the team with more players has the option to (i) bat all players on their roster or (ii) bat at least the number of players of their opponent. Any player not in the lineup on the team with more players shall be on the bench and must be substituted according to USSSA rules. Players on the bench are not eligible for free substitution until they have been brought into the game. All substitutions must be reported to the opponent and the umpire. 

8. Any pitcher must be removed from the mound when a manager or coach makes two trips to the mound in the same inning.
