Aspen Peterson, an incoming seventh grader (Class of 2019) at B-B-E, finished third at today's Regional Pitch, Hit and Run contest in Foley. He just missed out on an automatic state tournament berth, but he's still in the running for an at-large wildcard bid. Peterson represented B-B-E in the 11 to 12-year old bracket. Further announcements on a possible advancement to the State competition is forthcoming. The State competition is on June 15 at Target Field in Minneapolis.
The Pitch, Hit and Run contest was sponsored locally by the B-B-E Area Jaycees, and the local contest was held earlier in May.

By the way, I recently had supper at Classic Company Dinner Theater, and they put "Bambi" on the big screen for our kids to enjoy. What a neat atmosphere! The food was outstanding.
