Unfortunately, NCAA softball still requires us to do so. I'm just trying to gain an understanding on which bats do we check.

It's the ten additional bats I see in batbags in the back of the dugout that the girls claim they use for warm-ups that I'm trying to understand if I should check them, or have them removed from the area.
