American sport (8)

I think it could be either:

baseball

softball

(Other definitions for baseball that I've seen before include "Nine-a-side game" , "Mainly North American game" , "American team game" , "US/Canadian game" , "Game played in the strange sable lab" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Independent.
