Lugnuts search for Lansing’s best power hitters

LANSING, Mich. – The Lansing Lugnuts will crown the top power hitter in the capital city on Friday, July 30th, as they host Hometown Power Night presented by the Lansing Board of Water & Light.

The contest consists of three rounds, with check-in beginning at 1:30 p.m. and the first round scheduled to start at 2:00 p.m.
The top 10 sluggers will advance to the second round, where the three best home run hitters will have the chance to slug it out in the finals in front of the crowd before the Lugnuts' game that night.
"We look forward to Hometown Power Night every year," said  Lugnuts General Manager Pat Day. "We thank the Lansing Board of Water & Light as we celebrate and cheer on the finest local power hitters."
