Lugnuts search for Lansing's best power hitters!
LANSING, Mich. – The
Lansing Lugnuts will crown the top power hitter
in the capital city on Thursday, July 30th as they
host Hometown Power Night presented by the Lansing Board
of Water & Light.
Hometown Power Night affords
local sluggers a chance to show off their strength in a Home Run Derby competition at
Oldsmobile Park.
The contest consists of three rounds, with check-in beginning at 1:30 p.m. and the first round scheduled to start at 2:00 p.m. The top
10 home run hitters will advance to the second round, where the three best sluggers will have the chance to slug it
out in the finals in front of the crowd before the Lugnuts' game that
evening.
"Every year we look forward to Hometown Power Night," said Lugnuts General Manager
Pat Day. "We thank the Lansing Board of Water & Light for joining us in celebrating and cheering on our finest local power hitters."
The Hometown
Power Night Home Run Derby is open to anyone who wishes to compete.
Interested participants must RSVP to Lugnuts Sponsorship Representative Jill Niemi by July 27th via email at jniemi@lansinglugnuts.com or by phone at (517) 485-4500, ext. 234.
