CINCINNATI -- On Saturday morning at Great American Ball Park, 23 girls and boys were given the opportunity to showcase their skills on the same field as Major League players. And at the end of the day, eight still have the chance to potentially compete on an even bigger stage.
Pitch, Hit & Run, the official youth skills competition of Major League Baseball, invites kids to demonstrate their pitching, hitting and running abilities in baseball and softball. The competition coincides with this weekend's "PLAY BALL" initiative between Major League Baseball, USA Baseball and USA Softball, which encourages widespread participation in all forms of baseball/softball activities among all age groups, especially youth.
