On April 4, the UT baseball team held the homerun derby at the Varsity baseball field. Fans showed up to support the participants, or for the free shirts given out. Chelsea Gillis, attended the event and although not a baseball fan she said, “my boyfriend dragged me out here with him, I don’t mind though because it is entertaining and the weather is beautiful.”
Heath Pritchard number 44, sophomore and first baseman of the JV baseball team won the derby with approximately 35 homeruns. Pritchard received a trophy and multiple gift cards for his outstanding performance. When asked how it felt to win, Pritchard said, “great”. When asked about the overall outcome of the event Pritchard said, “It was awesome; I won one hundred dollars in gift cards for basically having fun and doing what I really enjoy.” Pritchard’s number of homeruns was impressive and had the fans who went to the derby in awe.
