Reading Fightin Phils News Release


On Saturday, August 2, boys and girls ages 5-16 are invited to compete in the second Annual VOICES / Y102 Baseballtown Youth Day, Run, Pitch and Hit Contest at FirstEnergy Stadium.

Children will compete on the field in all three events. The "Run" competition times the kids to see who is the quickest from home plate to first base.

The "Pitch" competition takes place in the bullpen and gauges pitching accuracy.

The "Hit" competition lets the kids slug away for distance. Trophies will be awarded in six age categories for both boys and girls (12 categories total), and the whole event promises to be fun for the kids - after all, you will be competing right on the field at FirstEnergy Stadium!

Pre-registration is required and can be done by calling 610-375-8469.

A $5.00 donation to Baseballtown Charities guarantees a spot in the second Annual VOICES Y102 Baseballtown Youth Day.

Trophies will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in every age category (5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16) and the top two winners in each age group will win a special Philadelphia Phillies Prize Pack thanks to Citizens Bank. That's a total of 36 trophies and 24 Phillies prize packs!
