CHICAGO, IL - Sunday afternoon the Illinois Tech Baseball team hosted the MLB Pitch, Hit, & Run Competition in partnership with Play for Life in their community outreach service project. Approximately 30 youths from around the Chicago-land area came to Ed Glancy Field Sunday.
The baseball team members held clinics in different aspects of the game such as pitching, fielding, hitting, and base running for the youths. In addition to the clinics the kids were also able to participate in the Major League Baseball Pitch, Hit, & Run Competition in which they competed in those three areas of the game for a chance to move on and compete on the national stage of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Anaheim, California.
The baseball team was also luck enough to have a few alumni come back to help out with the event as well. Eddie Morales (Alum 10') said, "For the first time hosting the event, I thought we had a great turn out. It was great being able to host an event at my Alma Mater. The guys on the team were wonderful with the kids. I think some of them have a real future in coaching. I thought the event ran smoothly and it was a good time for the kids and the Hawks baseball players." Sophomore Kevin Glennon also had a few positive comments on the community service project saying, "It was a nice day to spend with some kids from the community to help them out with different aspects of their games. Who better to help them out then a team of college baseball players?"
This event will hopefully become an Illinois Tech Baseball Tradition from here on out.
