USSSA Top gun

14A championship game currently on espn3. Girl up to bat swinging a Demarini Phenix hahaha! Hmmm?

 

[redhotcoach]

Oop, and an original with a Phenix also. Guess Utrip isn't checking stamps there.

Whoa. Phoenix should stick out like a sore thumb, can't believe someone on other team didn't notice it.

Tournament rules said you had to show bats to plate ump every at bat.

We were in the 12's out there which was at a different park and they were checking them every at bat. One ump told one of our players she had never seen a Rocketech before...? They were using Worth Red Dot USSSA balls that had the normal compression but they seemed very dead, not as many burned outfielders, never saw a single otf hr. I have never seen those balls before

That was a really nice tournament btw, great competition. Lots of close games. The format was 90 minute games or 7 innings which we don't get to play very often.

Can't you send older bats is to get stamped? That's likely what happened here.

I'm watching a replay of this game. The rules seem to be more like guidelines. I see the Originals pitcher routinely with her foot behind the pitching plate and just watched an infield single by a girl with a foot entirely out of the box.

For a few months in summer of 2012 you could send in your 2012 bat to get a stamp. I don't think they would have stamped an '08.

(Shot hiding girl's number and face, not that I blame her a bit for using it)
