Algonquin Baseball and Softball is encouraging young players to “hit some dingers” tomorrow and the public to come cheer them on. The Northborough-Southborough youth sports association is holding its annual Home Run Derby this Saturday, June 7th.
The event will be held at the Mooney Field Complex (by Finn School, 60 Richards Road).
The fun is scheduled for the evening, with the youngest players up to bat first at 5:00 pm.
Organizers promise “fun to be had by all” in an event that includes:
fantastic softball and baseball action, delicious pizza, music, and a fully stocked snack bar to keep everyone fueled and cheering.
The hitting competition is open to players on ABSA baseball or softball teams, including minors, majors, and seniors. The signup page is here.
As of this morning, there was no indication yet that the forecast rain could change those plans.
Unfortunately, there is also a slight chance of thunder in the forecast, so I’d keep an eye on that. Presumably, registered families will get a message if there are schedule changes announced. For those just interested in cheering from the stands, you can check ABSA’s Facebook page here for potential updates.
