EMASS 60's ALMOST RULE THE WORLD's

It was a bittersweet ending for the EMASS Bostonians as they came within 3 outs
of playing for the world championship at the AAA level in Phoenix, Arizona this
past weekend. As it was, they proved themselves to be the strongest team in the
East & at least for this tournament, the third best in the world.

BALLS & BATS: We have just been informed that the Evil Microcell X2 that we now use in the National and American League will be banned in ASA next year and they will no longer be available. It seems that ASA and USSSA are going to 40/300 balls for next year. It looks like they will issue a banned list for balls by Jan 1st. I would suggest that EMASS players do not to buy any bats for awhile till we see what the ball situation is for next year and what are the best bats to use with them.

You might want to check out the ASA website for its list of non-approved bats, especially those that have the 2004 ASA certification mark, but have since been banned. Here's the link to copy and paste: http://www.asasoftball.com/about/build_batlist_w_pics_2000.asp
