It's quite obvious that teams these days have plenty of balls, so that shouldn't have been an issue. I would take the next step when evaluating the crew or passing that info along to your CC or state association.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess this crew doesn't have alot of playoff experience, but JRut is right. Unless it's obvious...they won't change it. Did you see if they checked them prior to the game...?
