Bridgeport Little League, in conjunction with West Virginia Patriot Baseball, will host a free Scotts Major League Baseball Pitch Hit & Run Competition for area youth.

 

The event will be held April 29 at 1 p.m. at the Bridgeport Recreation Complex.

 

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.

 

Boys and 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 during the 2018 MLB All-Star Week.

 

The individual Pitching, Hitting and Running Champions, along with the All-Around Champion in each division age 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, contact your local coordinators Robert Marra at 304-669-1979 or Russ Greathouse at 304-677-3203.
