Finishing first in each of their events, Kyle Hann and Nicholas Trogrlic-Iverson both easily won their age divisions at the local Aquafina Major League Baseball Pitch, Hit & Run competition, held last weekend at Cornwall Park.

Hann had the best scores in pitching, hitting and running at the 13/14 age level, while Trogrlic-Iverson swept the titles (tying for first in pitching with Jack Berczi) to win the 9/10 division.

Also winning all-around crowns were Ethan Paulos (7/8) and Tristan Pompey (11/12). Pompey won the 9/10 local title last year, going on to become the first Canadian to be crowned as an MLB Pitch, Hit & Run champion at the Major League All-Star Game in San Francisco.

All four all-around champions qualified for the sectional competition, to be held in Mississauga. Also moving on are individual event winners Ben Schdelewitz, Tyson Bartlett, Kevin Kocken, Troy Lacoste, Pascal Marcotte and Berczi.

Pitching competition measured accuracy by requiring youngsters to hit targets from a distance of 45 feet. Hitting scores were determined by measuring distance and accuracy off a tee, and running featured a timed sprint from second base to home plate.

All-around champions at the sectional competition will earn a spot in the Toronto Blue Jays team competition, to be held at the Rogers Centre in June. Winners there will advance to the MLB Pitch, Hit & Run finals, which will be contested at New York's Yankee Stadium July 18.
