HSBN 2011 Fall Classic Power Showcase Home Run Derby
Saturday - November 5, 2011 @ Flanagan High School - Starts at 6pm
What better way to kick off the 2011 HSBN Fall Classic than with 500 ft. bombs? Okay, so maybe Dan Vogelbach won't be hitting, but there will be thrilling competition amongst the most powerful hitters in the tri-county area.
Up to 50 players from Broward, Palm Beach and Miami will compete in two rounds to see who will be crowned the Fall 2011 HSBN/Power Showcase Home Run Derby Champion. Beyond that, the champion will win a free entry into the Power Showcase World Classic Home Run Derby to be held at Chase Field in Arizona. Airfare will also be paid for the winner, with the combined package totaling more that $1,800. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
