That is when two teams play two games on the same day.
Some years ago, teams would play several double headers a year. There would be a 20-30 minute break between games. You bought one ticket and were able to watch two games. Many would be on Sunday and it would be a great time for a family to spend a day at the ballpark watching Baseball. Some would be what was called 'twinight' double headers. The first game would start around 5 o'clock or so, there would be a 20-30 minute break between games, and the second game would end late in the evening.
Today, teams don't do that any more. If there is a double header, it is usually what is called a 'day-night' double header. This is when a game is played starting around 11 AM or noon. After the game, the park empties and the second game starts at the usual time a night game starts. If you want to watch both games, you must buy two tickets.

Second, Short and First
They named it softball because the game of softball was derived from Baseball. The baseball had a hard core whereas the softball has a soft core, so they named it softball. Although the ball is not softball the core of the ball is soft.
A single in softball is when the batter hits the ball and she gets to first base. A double would be her getting to second. A triple is getting to third. And a home run is getting around all four bases and coming home.
