Yep...Our local college team and my alma mater, Coastal Carolina University which is the current NCAA baseball Division 1 champions play with aluminum bats, as do all college teams. It's a big jump for a lot of hitters to go from aluminum to wood. BTW, CCU was a 4 yr branch of USC while attended, thus the reason for my Gamecock allegiance. As always, GO GAMECOCKS...AND GO CHANTICLEERS!!
