    What is correct ruling?

    Friday in a State tournament in Alabama, there was a situation that made me scratch my head. Bases loaded with two outs, a ground ball is hit toward the 3b, her momentum pulls her away from the bag. She fields the ball and tags the runner that was coming from second for the third out of the...

    Worth Legit 454's

    Not many girls if any at all in our area use Worth bats, but at the USFA World Series last week, just about every team from the state of TN was using Worth bats. The Legit 454 was a very common one that I saw. What some of your thoughts on the Worth bats?

    Bat Weight Differences
