According to Chip Towers of the AJC, it might just be the bats we're using this year. I especially like the quote, \"To hear a lot of them talk about it, not having that luxury [of using Easton rather than Nike bats] may have cost them the national championship against Easton-swinging Fresno State.\"
Keep in mind that this blog was written in the week leading up to the Youngstown series. My oh my, does Chip look like a prophet or what?
