Shirley places third at PH&R
Ten-year-old Pate Shirley of Vidalia won the hitting competition at the Team Championships Pitch Hit & Run competition at the Houston Astros' Minute Maid Park on Sunday, finishing third overall.
Shirley, who hit the ball 200 feet in Minute Maid Park, placed first in the 9-10 competition held in Vidalia earlier and won the Sectional competition in Natchitoches last month. The Sectional competition for the Houston Astros included 9 -and 10-year olds from Mississippi (3), Louisiana (2) and Southern Texas (6).
The top scorer in the 30 Team Championships advanced to the National Finals which will be during the Major League Baseball All-Star Baseball game in Yankee Stadium in New York.
The 30 finalists will compete prior to the Home Run Derby and then shag fly balls during the Home Run Derby.
Each contestant hit from a stationary tee and the three hits are judged on distance and accuracy. Batters hit the ball along a string and the hits are measured for length and the number of feet the ball is from the string is deducted from the distance.
Pate's longest hit at the Sectional was 280 feet. |
