Freedom Duties

As a Media Relations Intern with the Florence Freedom Professional Baseball Team in Florence, Kentucky, I help with website updates, writing press releases, and updating active rosters. I am also doing some video editing work highlighting the group areas, specialty areas and on-field specialty items.

Pitch, Hit and Run

In my first few weeks at the Freedom, I heard a lot about this Pitch, Hit and Run event which was modeled after the Punt, Pass and Kick Event of the NFL. As the event was nearing, I was approached by Kari, our General Manager, asking my supervisor to be the Local Coordinator of the event. He happened to be very busy with phone calls and a lot of other duties and tasks to be done, so Kari looked at me to be the coordinator and field the calls and emails regarding the event. I was blown away to be asked and so, I became the Local Coordinator of the Freedom's first ever Pitch, Hit and Run Event.

I created a new page for the event and linked a button for participants to click with a PDF file that I linked to the page as well. That PDF file was the registration form to print out and send in for your spot to be filled. I also wrote a press release for the media to announce our event as well.

On the day of the event, I was there helping to run the event, keep the kids running smoothly, collect the scores, and notify the winners after the event.

After the event, I tallied the scores, notified winners and coordinated their ribbon pickup and sent out the sectional details for the sectional qualifiers.
