I always make sure that I try to avoid hitting the pitcher as best as I can, and there'd be moments where it would go right at him, only to miss him (thankfully) that after I either am safe or out, I would acknowledge him and say "Sorry about that" or hit my chest like a signal of "my bad".

It was my experience in softball leagues that when you needed one hit to win the game, the highest probability is to hit a hard grounder a few feet in front of the third baseman.
But, I never liked slow pitch softball. Too many people taking it way too serious. I played fast pitch softball for a number of years. You got too arrogant, they put a fastball in your ribs.
