Each spring, Kernersville Parks & Recreation holds the FREE MLB Pitch, Hit and Run Competition at Beeson Park.  This one day competition tests boys and girls between the ages of 7-14 in their abilities to pitch at the strike zone, bat with accuracy & distance, and run the bases with lightning speed.  The winners in each category and age division will then advance to the regionals.  This year we had 30 kids show up to compete and 10 of those will advance to the Sectionals that are also being hosted by KPRD in partnership with Forsyth County Parks & Rec and Guilford County Parks & Rec at Triad Park on Saturday, May 24th, 2008.
