2023 Home Run Derby

When	5:30PM Saturday September 9, 2023
Where	Sesqui 1
Cost	$10
Divisions	Male and Female
Prizes	Division Winners Win Their Respective Pot

How it works

• • Sign up at the bar prior to 5:30PM
  • “Home Run” distance will be marked in the field.
  • Each entrant will get 10 swings pitched from a pitching machine (if you think it is a bad pitch you can let it go and it will not count as an attempt).
  • Each hit that lands beyond the “home run” distance (marked on the field) will count as a home run.
  • In the case of a tie, players will alternate attempts in a sudden death style (Order determined by coin flip or similar).
  • The player with the most home runs will win the money and bragging rights.
