As spring progresses on towards summer and the baseball season moves forward players begin to distinguish themselves, the same holds true for our young athletes in Suffolk County. Having hosted the MLB Pitch, Hit, and run in April Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) had the opportunity to honor those young athletes who participated in the competition.
The MLB Pitch, Hit, and Run is a baseball skills competition sponsored by Scotts and Major League Baseball, and was hosted by Legislator Leslie Kennedy in conjunction with the Nesconset Athletic Association. It was a crisp April morning when the boys gathered at Browns Road Field in Nesconset to compete in the competition and those who have distinguished themselves are worthy of praise.
The boys honored at the Suffolk County Legislature on Tuesday were those who had achieved the highest score in pitching, hitting, or running, all skills that are pertinent to America’s pastime: Baseball. “I was honored to have the opportunity to present these boys with their MLB Certificate of Excellence, and I look forward to seeing them go on to do great things in life, who knows, perhaps one day one of these young ball players will be playing in the major leagues.” said Legislator Kennedy.
