I applaud the decision by the schools switching to wood. Here is an excerpt from today's Marin newspaper (the Marin Independent Journal):
quote:
In Marin, a debate over the use of metal and wood bats continues, with seven out of 10 MCAL teams planning to stick with metal bats for now.
Most coaches, however, said they are open to making the switch to wood. When Marin Catholic hosts San Rafael High School on Tuesday, both teams will use wood bats.
"We'll go with whatever the league decides," San Rafael coach Stan Switala said. "But we are switching to wood for the MC game (on Tuesday)."
Based on what the coaches said Monday, when Justin-Siena visits Novato High on Tuesday, it will be among the first MCAL games in which one team, Novato, uses wood bats and the other uses metal. Tamalpais High will use metal bats when it hosts the Branson School, which will use wood bats, also on Tuesday.
