hit the ball to score?

The Sox had a horrible May slump last year. They woke up in June and gained the

The ball is smaller and lighter than a cricket ball (I believe).
The 'bowler' is allowed to bend his elbow and pitch with a whip of his arm.
Speeds of 90 to 105 miles per hour are typically achieved.
At those speeds, the ball curves based on catching the stiched seams
in the wind.
