I talked one of my opponents into playing a wood bat game during the HS spring season. I need a cool name for it. I don't want to go with the bland "wood bat classic" or anything like that but my creativity is is blocked. Any help?

I don't know about cool but, I googled both "wood" and "battle" for synonyms and ideas. I got "Clash of Lumber", "Lumber Clash" or if you want to channel your inner-Caddyshack..."Battle for the Lumberyard". Sorry, if I'm getting a little carried away
Good luck coach2709!

If only Billy Baroo was a bat.
These are AWESOME and I'm super disappointed in myself for not thinking of them. Keep it up
March of the wooden soldiers if it is played in March
This comes from reading too many San Diego, Fiesta Island over-the-line team names but this is what popped into my head... March Badness – Wood, or go home! Or maybe Wood's Good?
Edited to remove my poor taste suggestion...
Why not forget the bat part of it and name it after someone who is or was significant to your program? Maybe the winningest coach in team history? Or, after the person who took photos at the games for 10+ years? Or, after someone related to the school or program who died tragically?

There used to be a restaurant in my city called "Maple and Pine" - no one got the baseball (bat/bench) reference around here but me. (They recently rebranded the name lol). Maybe a 'maple and pine clash'?
Coach;
That is a great idea. Keep us informed.
When I created the Area Code games, I trademark the name and logo.
We were the 1st event to use wood bats. If I planned another event I would name it "Zip Code" games.
Who is your wood bat sponsor? They may desire a table to sell their product.
You should alert the media.
You may desire to name the game after the sponsor or local dealer.
Is it a three game series and what is the distance of the visiting team?
Are you printing T-shirts to sell?

The game will be in April and I'm thinking of having old school shirts made from maybe the 80s and do an 80s theme with 80s music between innings. Maybe have the guys do a little research and get 80s walk up songs.
We do have a wood bat sponsor and he will have a table set up to sell bats. Not sure about selling shirts. I hate buying something that doesn't sell and have to eat that money.
Keep the ideas coming
Coach;
Do you have a local Pizza or Fast food restaurant. They can place their name on a T-shirt [left side]. You buy the T-shirts and a local printer can imprint the Logo for the game. If you desire I can send names of T-shirt company's we used for the Area Code games and Goodwill Series events. Which city will the game be played?

What kind of wood does the sponsor use for his bats?
I was thinking of a riff on Fenway's "Clash" like "Ash Clash" or "Clash of Ashes"
Sponsored by your bat guy
Something simple and PC, like that.
Could you use location in the name?

Sorry, ex- pitcher. ;-)
Log Jam, Swingin' Timber, Lumber Feud, Timber Tussle
I would vote for "Swingin' Timber" - should be able to come up with some good corresponding graphics for the t-shirt. Maybe look to the Moody Blues covers for inspiration.
