Pitch, Hit & Run There are two Pitch, Hit & Run events in Dubuque and one in Maquoketa. With MLB coming into town this year, it may be nice addition. We will need several volunteers for this event.

Voting Yea: Lang, Scherbring, Goldsmith, Ungs, Kronlage, Oberbroeckling Motion Carried 4. Prairie League Rule Changes Huehnergarth stated several of the new rule changes for the Prairie League. Girls softball - D League - will now play with an 11" hard ball. They also encourage a face guard for players in the infield. Boys baseball - B League - will now have 70' bases and C League will have 65' bases. All softball and baseball will have a 5 run maximum for every inning, unless agreed upon by both coaches before the start of the game. No advancement at all for an overthrow for the younger divisions. Kronlage asked whether or not you could bring a pitcher back in for the last inning. Huehnergarth stated there is a limit to the number of pitches they throw, but it hasn't been brought up as to whether or not they can come back in for an inning. Motion made by Lang, seconded by Scherbring. Voting Yea: Lang, Scherbring, Goldsmith, Ungs, Kronlage, Oberbroeckling Motion Carried 5. Aquatic Center Evening Parties In the past, Huehnergarth was leery about doing evening parties. He didn't think we had the staff to support these. He now feels confident since 15 life guards and the assistant manager will be returning from last year. The pool parties would be geared toward 6th to 8th grade. Tentatively setting the date for the parties for the first Thursday of the month from June - August. The time would be from 7:30 pm - 10 pm. These would be considered special events so no passes would be allowed. The cost would be $5 per person. Motion made by Goldsmith, seconded by Kronlage. Voting Yea: Lang, Scherbring, Goldsmith, Ungs, Kronlage, Oberbroeckling Motion Carried 6. Bocce Ball A bocce ball court was installed last year by an Eagle Scout. Huehnergarth would like to have a clinic to teach anyone who'd like to learn how to play. He would like to eventually have a league created. He also plans to have a set of Bocce balls available under lock & key. Huehnergarth feels this would be a great activity for anyone. He plans to advertise on social media. Motion made by Goldsmith, seconded by Scherbring.

Commission Member Comments It was recommended that we put information for registration in the Dyersville Commercial to increase the number of participants. Instagram might also be a great place to advertise. 8. Set Next Meeting Date for Monday, March 30, 2026 at 6:00 P.M.
