Thanks for the play-by-play, csker
WHEW!
NU FINALLY wins the game 10-6 and they lead the series 2-1.
I just got a text that game 4 is moved up to a noon time start.
Thanks RR. I figured that was the reason and was just tossing out a heads up.

A buddy texted me earlier this morning.I never got back to check for a time change
That's a curious quote. I've not heard anything about Adidas bats before. Are you saying they did not have the pop that other leading brands do?Really amazing what can happen with our offense once Erstad told Adidas to F-off and we went with off contract bats
Rumor on another board that Erstad was forced to use Adidas bats, and finally midway thru last year told them he wasn't going to use them anymore (when injuries mounted and we needed any advantage we could). Not a single CWS team uses Adidas baseball bats. Further rumor with another person that I have no idea the validity, but Eichorst contractually made Erstad. Moos once it was voiced to him said "just quit using them."That's a curious quote. I've not heard anything about Adidas bats before.

Pretty cool actually.
Wow that's nuts. In my eyes Adidas has been a great sponsor for the university but that sucks if their bats are sub standard. My family had a sporting good store for close to 30 years and we saw the evolution of the modern day bat. (Talking metal not wood) I've been out of the business for 15 years now but it still pisses me off when I think about all of the parents that felt they had to spend $200 - $350 on a bat for their 12-14 year old so he could keep up with everyone else.Rumor on another board that Erstad was forced to use Adidas bats, and finally midway thru last year told them he wasn't going to use them anymore (when injuries mounted and we needed any advantage we could).

Same standards in terms of weight and what they can use to make it, but there's so much variance other than that. My expertise isn't in college baseball bats, but I know that the weight can be distributed differently, some swings work better with other bats. Not to quote this to old man softball, but I hit a Synergy the best and some guys struggle with it.This is the 1st I've heard of this.
Out of curiosity, besides using aluminum or ash, what is the difference by whose brand is on it? Don't they all follow the same standards?
