New Milford Elks "Batter Up" Contest

The New Milford Elks held their annual "Batters Up" contest Saturday at La Barbera Field. Even the oppressive heat and threatening rain clouds could not keep these sluggers away. 

The "Batters Up" batting competition is open to boys and girls ages 5-15. During the competition, each batter gets 10 pitches from a pitching machine. The farther the ball is hit, the more points the batter scores; the highest scores in each age group win.  Highest scores in each age group then qualifies for regional competition, which will be followed by the state competition.
