#In a few years, the Lovelock baseball campers will be full pledged Mustangs, pitching, running bases and batting to the best of their abilities.
#On Saturday and Sunday morning, Coach Jared Jensen, Amanda Holland and the coaches from Major League University (MLU) got them off to a good start.
#The 4-H, MLU and PCHS offer the camp every year. It’s open to players aged eight and up and held on the high school baseball field.
#This year 11 ball players enrolled. For $50 they got professional instruction from Coaches Austin Byler, Ray McIntire and Steve Guberti from MLU.
Coach Jared Jensen and the MLU coaches stand on the pitcher's mound with the campers.
#Pershing County 4-H coordinator Colby Burke says equivalent camps run anywhere from $300 to $500.
#"Due to sufficient community support, ball clinics taught by professionals were available at discounted rates to youth this summer," she said.
#The group stretched and ran before getting started. Next, the coaches guided them through exercises to help them grow as ball players.
The Lovelock baseball campers get a workout.
#They practiced the agility and focus demanded by the game in a fun atmosphere. The campers were speedy and enthusiastic.
#Each took home a commemorative T-shirt. Burke hopes to offer the MLU camp in February or March next year.
