At a disadvantage in Blaine Baseball. SBAA is one of the primary feeders for Blaine HS Baseball. Project consists of dual batting cages/concrete pad $7000, $8000 35*56 feet. Got 6000 Blaine, 3000 Blaine Traveling Baseball , 2000 Blaine Fusion so have about 11000. Still have a lot of things to work on; still need to get approval from the city. Try to use volunteer labor; $15,000. SBAA donated before to build a new mound. Hoping a primary sponser can be SBAA. Where do the Soderville kids fall in this? When they get to Blaine HS/BATBA they will get to utilize this. Blaine Youth Hockey possibly $2000/Carl Nyberg possible donation.
