Amber's Broken Bats

Amber wrote about a team that kept breaking their bats.

Todd Helton was up to bat. He swung and hit the ball, breaking his bat into 7 pieces.

When the next three players came up to bat, 2 of them broke their bats, too! They each broke their bats into 12 pieces.

How many bat pieces did the poor batboy have to pick up?
