Trophies will be awarded to first place winners in each skill event in the Optimist Club of Menomonee Falls Tri-Star Baseball contest. Girls and boys can run the bases for speed as well as test their throwing (speed gun) and hitting skills in a fun and safe environment.

The annual Tri-Star Baseball event will be taking place on Saturday, June 11 from 12:00-4:00 at the Little League Baseball Complex on Mill Road. This event will be taking place during Little League’s Mid-Season Celebration, so there will be lots of activity in addition to baseball. They also plan on showing movies that evening, so they have requested our Optimist Popcorn Wagon for the affair. What a great marketing opportunity in addition to providing a venue for all kids ages 7-12 to compete at speed throwing, running the bases and hitting. Please come and help if you are available for a few hours.

The contest is FREE and is open to all boys, girls and their teams in the Menomonee Falls, Germantown and Sussex areas. The contest is open to all kids ages 7-12.

Registration will begin at 11:30 the morning of the event at the Little League Complex. Families can register the kids up until 3:30 the day of the event. Please contact event chair Don Eisenhauer at 262-409-1846 or at eisenhauers@youngrembrandts.com for more information.
