St. Aloysius’ baseball team and a few dozen of their closest friends hit the field this week for the school’s youth baseball camp.
Approximately 35 children participated in four-day camp at Bazinsky Field. Drills led by St. Al players and coaches were mixed with scrimmage games, and sliding drills on a wet slip and slide capped things off on Thursday.
The baseball camp was the last in a series of summer sports camps offered by St. Al. Softball, football and volleyball camps were held earlier in June.
