Free youth program at Brandywine Park
The Pepsi Pitch, Hit & Run program will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at Brandywine Park in Greenfield. The program is free for boys and girls ages 7 to 14.
Pitch, Hit & Run is the official skills competition of Major League Baseball. It is designed to provide youngsters with an opportunity to participate 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 at the 2015 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.
