Seattle, WA – July 26, 2013 – Easton’s Brett Helmer and DeMarini’s Chris Larsen went toe to toe Friday night at Safeco Field in Seattle. And when the show bombs settled, they tied with 11 points each. Helmer was impressed with the performance, the park and his gear. “I love Safeco and the energy of the show we put on tonight, everyone hit well. My Easton bat was on fire and watching my team mates send ‘em sailing out of the park was also pretty darn cool .” Helmer was referring to Easton’s Scott Kirby and Brian Wegman who both sent Evil Softballs completely out of Safeco Field and into downtown Seattle. The battle to make the Top 6 and the finals is close and combative. DeMarini’s Chris Larsen knows this is one of the most competitive seasons ever on the Stadium Power Tour. “This year it’s going down to the wire, a super tight points battle to make the top 6 and the Finals, but trust me DeMarini will be there.”
