Pitch, Hit & Run Competition Coming to Greenfield

The Greenfield Ignitors will host a free Major League Baseball Pitch, Hit & Run Competition for area youth girls this spring.

The event will be 1-4 p.m. April 27, at Greenfield High School, 4800 S. 60th St.

Pitch, Hit & Run is the official skills competition of Major League Baseball. This grassroots program is designed to provide youngsters with an opportunity to compete, free of charge, in a competition that recognizes individual excellence in core baseball/softball skills.

Girls are divided into four age divisions: 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, and have the chance to advance through four levels of competition, including Team Championships at Major League ballparks and the National Finals at the 2013 MLB All-Star Game.

The individual pitching, hitting and running champions, along with the all-around champion in each age and gender group at the local competition will be awarded and advance to the sectional level of competition.

All participants must bring a copy of their birth certificate and have their parent or guardian fill out a registration/waiver form prior to the start of the competition. For questions concerning the competition, please contact Scott Bauer at GreenfieldIgnitorsFastpitch@hotmail.com.
