Summer Blast

Third $5000 Home Run Challenge Ends with Drama

The Annual BRW Summer Blast Tournament features a very unique in-game challenge during the 18U Championship Game. Since 2018 the $5000 Home Run Challenge has been an exciting way for the 18U age division to remember the end of the tournament season. Any batter who is the first to hit a home run over the 200 foot fence in the course of the 4th inning, would receive a check for $5000 to defray the costs of college or continuing education. While we’ve seen home runs in the 18U championship game in the 3rd and 5th innings, we’ve never seen a player collect on this 4th inning challenge.

Click on the video to see what happened this year when Blast player, Jessica Cagney came to bat. That’s Blazers’ #22, Maritza Arias in Centerfield making an incredible play!
