The Atmore Area YMCA is holding a Pitch, Hit and Run competition on Sat., April 1, at the ball field.

The competition is slated to run from 9 a.m. until.

The Scotts Pitch, Hit and Run is the official skills competition of Major League Baseball. The program is designed to provide younger players with an opportunity to compete, free of charge, in a competition that recognizes individual excellence in core baseball and softball skills.

Boys and girls will be divided into four age divisions — 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14 — and have the chance to advance through the four levels of competition, including team championships at ML ballparks and the National Finals during the 2017 MLB All-Star Week.

The individual pitching, hitting and running champions, along with the All-Around Champion in each division age group at the local competition will be awarded and advance to the sectional level of competition.

All participants must bring a copy of their birth certificate and have their parent or guardian fill out a registration/waiver form prior to the start of the competition.

For questions or more information on the competition, contact coordinator Roland Hall at 251-368-9622 or roland.hall.ymca@gmail.com.
