It has been my experience that wood bat games are shorter. Some hits through the infield become routine grounders, there are less THTH grounders directly at an infielder and there are more easy flys to the outfield vs. home runs and gappers. Lower scoring games with lots of good defense go faster.

Wood, wood, wood. Give me wood every time, I say (somehow, that didn't sound right).

Besides the length of the games, I much prefer the "crack" of the bat vs. the "ping" of the bat any day!

I work a D2 league that only plays with wood bats during conference games. I had 4 plate games (in this conference) this year and 3 were under a 1:30. Games moved along and fielders were not ducking for cover to get out of the way of the ball.

I am sorry I did not mention this. At least 2 of these games were 9 innings.

Peace
