Your State College Spikes are hosting an MLB Pitch Hit & Run event at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park on Sunday, June 15 at 1 p.m. as part of PLAY BALL Weekend. The festivities will be presented by Penn State Health.
Kids in age groups from 7 to 14 can compete in either baseball or softball pitching, hitting and running, with a Franklin Bat and Ball set for the first 100 to sign up!
Athletes are tested, and their measurements are recorded. Based on their scores, they may advance from a local event to a Team Championship held in MLB stadiums. Top scores then qualify for an all-expenses-paid trip for two to compete at Finals, which is hosted at the World Series.
Last year, 9-year-old Sid Thomas from State College, who started her MLB Pitch Hit & Run journey by winning the 10U Softball division at a local competition at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, took third place in the nation at the MLB Pitch Hit & Run Finals held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
