ROSELAWN - Though a stormy morning forced them inside, several young boys and girls were treated to an opportunity to learn basic baseball fundamentals in the Reds plush P&G Cincinnati MLB Urban Youth Academy July 13.

With temperatures into the 90s, the early storms may have had actually had a cooling effect, but the hundreds of youth in different colored t-shirts still had plenty of energy to burn. With their young age and being indoors, whiffle balls were used to teach fielding, throwing and other basic skills.

It was the second clinic of the summer put on in coordination with the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association.
