Music between batters - NCAA

[mick]

I don't get out much so this was a new deal for me.

Working my only small college games yesterday, I had really loud music behind the backstop between innings. I didn't like it, but I figgered, like I said, I don't get out much.

Well, then the music started between batters [Wazzat, about 20 seconds?], and I went to the music box and asked them to refrain between batters. They said fine, but they tattled on me.

Home coach came out at the next half-inning and said "Everyone does that music between batters at every other field." I said, "No kiddin'?" I asked the visiting "on-deck batter if that was so and he said, "Yes it is (so)."

Okeedokee, I figger. ...Weird, but okeedokee.

Does this, between batters music thing, happen at all levels of college ball or is this specific to DIII leagues?
