The Pepsi Pitch, Hit, and Run Contest is coming to Turlock on Saturday, March 4. (Hope that's not opening LL day!?) It will be at Pedretti Fields during our tournament but it is actually open to all players. Last year it was held in Manteca for our area so we are pretty lucky to be able to have it here.
It is free for all players to participate, parents would have to pay $3 to enter the facilities, they barely break even. Pretty much what you do is pitch for accuracy, hit for power and accuracy, and run for speed from 2nd to home. The winners go on to sectionals and the winners from there get to participate in the finals at a Giants game!
I am actually just promoting it, not running it so I am really not the one to answer too many questions. I just wanted to make it a big event. The Manteca Heat Travel Baseball team is running it and last year had 80 kids. They want to try for at least 200 this year. Please help spread the word. Since it is in Turlock, hopefully a lot of Turlock kids can participate and some winners can come from here. What do you all think?

We haven't finalized the times yet, but it will probably start at 9:00am and go most of the day.
I think the ages are 14 and younger and each age has a winner.

I think this is a great thing for the kids in the area. Are there any flyers or anything on line regarding the event that can be posted at the local schools? I will let my son know about this and he can start spreading the word. Maybe at the LL sign ups they can let the kids and parents know also. Opening day for LL is March 18th.
