Major League Baseball announced that an Anchorage girl has qualified for the finals of the MLB Pitch, Hit & Run skills competition, which will be held during the World Series.

Addison Anderson qualified for the 11/12 Year Old Softball Division by finishing first at the Team Championships at T-Mobile Park in Seattle on September 12. Her scores were among the top three of all the other girls across the country who competed in her division. She will meet the Team Champions from the New York Mets and Cleveland Indians during the Finals.

The announcement was made Wednesday evening on MLB Network. (Video of the announcement is available at this link.)

Pitch, Hit & Run is the official skills competition of Major League Baseball. The grassroots program is designed to provide youth across North America with an integrated competition that recognizes individual excellence in core baseball and softball skills.

Boys and girls compete in baseball and softball in four age groups: 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, and have the chance to advance through four levels of competition including the Local, Sectional, Team Championship and National Finals.
