Sports in brief . . .

Baseball tryout and hitting camp
    Coast to Coast Baseball would like to invite local players ages 10-18 to one of our upcoming tryout events. At the tryout, our staff will evaluate your skills in four areas; hitting, fielding, arm strength and speed. Players who are accepted to the program may choose to represent the USA in competition in Puerto Rico, or work with top college coaches and pro scouts at one of our Florida or Arizona Camp and Showcase events held at a MLB spring-training complex.
    In addition to the tryout, an instructional hitting camp will be held the same day. The goal of the camp is to help players improve hitting fundamentals as well as their mental approach at the plate. Events will be held at Mansfield Stadium, 115 13th St., Bangor, ME 04401 on Monday, July 20. Tryouts begin at 12 p.m., but hitting camp starts at 9 a.m.
