I mentioned in a previous post that DD found a 34 -9 2018 Ghost in the shed at her school. She loved it and said that she mashes with it. Unfortunately, it broke a few weeks into using it. Last weekend we went up to watch her team play their fall ball games. Before the game, she called me over to show me the bat. It had a huge V gash at the bottom area of the barrel approaching the handle. I could see into the bat.

What I was most surprised to find out is she is still using it during practice. Still hitting bombs with it. I told her to try to sneak into the game during bat check. LOL. No dad! I thought once a bat has cracked or gashed that it no longer performed, but in this case it's still going strong. Fortunately for DD she hasn't broke any of bats over the years, just grew out of them or says that it's dead.
