Bat Rolling

[Guest Parent]

I don't want to seem like a complainer because we lost the game, but a parent bragged about how his daughter's softball bat was rolled.  The entire team used it and the ball was jumping off the bat.  They aren't a very good team and the ball was flying over our outfielders' heads.  The guy who rolled it even bragged about rolling it and has a local bat rolling business.  The bat is even in a pic on his company facebook page next to the rolling machine.  

 

Someone is going to get hurt.  We don't want a win from it or anything.  We just want the bat removed.  We won't play them again, but we want the bat removed.  What do we do?

 

I am from Tennessee if that matters.  Is it illegal?

I found it interesting in the OP that the poster complained of the team using the rolled bat, hitting balls over their outfielders heads.  Then, safety was brought into the equation.  LOL, sounds like you got beat and didn't like it to me!

 

That's why I am hesitant to even turn them in, but I would feel badly if someone got hurt or worse and I did nothing.  Our team is horrible.  They didn't need it to beat us.

I gave you the director of the state HS athletics association's contact info. Your facts as presented here plus the ad you sent and a statement like you just posted about safety should be all that is needed to spur an investigation. I think it is incumbent upon you to act at this point. Not for sour grapes over a loss but the safety of other players that team will play.

Tell the outfielders to backup and catch he ball.
