100% sure they will. I play flag football and 16 inch softball. I've jammed my finger is 16 inch softball so bad that it was as big as a golf ball, the other team hit it down the 3rd base line the rest of the game. I play SS in flag football, I pulled my quad and the other team passed it to my side the rest of the game.
I'm sure Shady will be ready for the low hits and they will come.
