What:       The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and
            the Los Angeles Dodgers are teaming up to host a Power
            Hitter Clinic and Competition at Rosecrans Recreation
            Center. The Power Hitter Clinic and Competition will
            begin with the Dodger representatives leading dozens of
            boys and girls ages 7 - 14 in hitting, pitching and
            catching drills.

            Following the clinic, the children will compete in a
            hitting competition with winners advancing to a final
            contest held at Dodger Stadium later in the season. The
            LADWP Children's will also be on-hand staffed by members
            of the LADWP Speakers Bureau to educate the kids and their
            families about water conservation and the wise use of
            electricity.
