Hey kids, do you have the baseball skills to maybe someday be a Major League player? Find out at Scotts® Major League Baseball Pitch Hit & Run competition Wiscasset Parks and Recreation is hosting from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, May 12 at the Wiscasset Middle High School field.

The event is open to area boys and girls. Entrants will be divided into four age divisions: 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 and 13-14. Participants register the day of the event and must have a copy of their birth certificate and have their parent or guardian present to fill out a registration and waiver form prior to the start.

There’s no charge to take part. Competitors have a chance to show off their skills in pitching, hitting and running.

This is the second straight year Parks and Recreation has hosted the event. The department’s youth sports program coordinator, Duane Goud, facilitates it. “Kids that want to take part should bring along their glove, cleats and favorite bat if they have one,” he said.

Wolverine varsity baseball coach Gregg Wood will be on hand, added Goud.

This is a great opportunity for youngsters to test their skills and possibly advance to the next level of competition, at Old Orchard, May 20. Team championships are held at Major League ballparks.

The 2018 National Pitch Hit & Run Finals are held during the MLB All-Star Week in July.
