CAPE MAY — The Cape May P.A,L, in conjunction with Aquatina and Major League Baseball are sponsoring a Pitch, Hit & Run contest. The contest will be held at l p.m. Registration starts at noon on April 18 at Cape May Elementary School.
Competitors 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 2010 MLB All-Star Game.
The contest is divided into three different components.
The PITCH portion of the program will test how accurately a competitor can throw strikes from 45 feet to a designated “Strike Zone” target. The HIT portion of the program will test a competitor’s ability to hit a baseball from a stationary tee. Hits will be measured for distance and accuracy.
The RUN portion of the program will measure a competitor’s speed in a sprint from second base, around third, and across home plate.
The competition is free to enter and all participants will receive a Major League Baseball card. Both overall and individual event winners in each age group will receive a ribbon and will move on to compete in the Sectional Contest.
All participants must bring a copy of their birth certificate and fill out a registration/ waiver form prior to the start of the competition.
For questions concerning the competition, please contact Patrolman Eric Lashley at (609) 884-9500 or by email at elashley@capemaygity.com.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
