LONG BEACH, Calif. – Over 100 local children flocked to Blair Field on Thursday for a free clinic with the Long Beach State Dirtbags. Dirtbags players were at the field to guide the young ballplayers through different stations.
The 100-plus campers ranged in age from six years old to 13 years old. The campers separated into age groups and were all able to work with Dirtbag players at various stations. The Dirtbags gave tips and advice to the young players on pitching, fielding and baserunning.
Former Dirtbag and Major League pitcher Mike Gallo also stopped by to offer a few words of advice for the campers.
The Dirtbags take on Arizona State at Blair Field on Friday at 6 p.m. and Wright State on Saturday at 2 p.m.
