COTUIT - An estimated 30 youngsters ages 6-12 spent
a sunny Sunday morning at Cotuit’s Lowell Park
competing in the annual Hit, Pitch, Run, and Throw
challenge. 23 athletes were recognized for
achievement during a pre-game ceremony at that
night’s Kettleers game.
Bob Scotti directed the event, and served as the
public address announcer. He was assisted by Cotuit
Kettleers interns and volunteers.
Four stations tested versatility in
baseball/softball related events. Hits off a tee
were measured for distance after the roll.
Competitors then threw for distance in the outfield,
and speed in the bullpen, as well as sprinting 100
feet for time.
A $10 dollar entry fee admitted each child into the
event. Age group winners received trophies, and all
participants received a ribbon.
