pepsi game
I saw it, and the umpires were lax, letting things go (e.g. stepping WAY out of the box, etc.).
As for the bats, the balls were definitely lower compression(maybe 375 compression, maybe less) [actaully sounded like cork-centered mush balls], so I was surprised that I did not see any composites, which are much better for those balls especially (Ultra II, Techfire series, Genesis, etc.).
They seemed to be using Easton Trishells of one kind or another for the most part (maybe they had an deal w/ Pepsi), and I know the Tri-Shell Connexion was banned and recertified (and maybe others--don't have the list handy). Also saw a Rawlings Silverback.
The ball was definitely toned down, as evidenced by the low score.
