Home Run Club

Home RunIn softball, a home run is a hit in which the batter is able to circle all the bases, ending at home plate and scoring a run himself, with no errors by the defensive team on the play which result in the batter advancing for extra bases.(Wikipedia)

High Point Pony will post those homeruns that are hit over the outfield fence. This is a great honor and achievement for a young softball player.
