Benefit Home Run Derby This Weekend In Opelousas

How many home runs can you hit? The Home Run Derby Competition is open to all! There are classes of competition for adults and kids. Participants get 10 swings for $20; kids can compete for free. The goal is to hit more home runs than Opelousas Police Chief Perry Gallow. The winner of each competition will receive a t-shirt and a trophy.

The Chief was a member of the UL baseball team from 1982-85 and supports the Club in Opelousas in many ways.
