Long Island Ducks Fans Can Win 10000 with Just a Few Perfect Pitches

's8220;Only on Long Island's8221; might best describe a promotion that this summer could have a fan leaving a Long Island Ducks game with an extra $10,000 's8211; just for throwing a few strikes.



The Long Island Ducks and Mercury Insurance have partnered to create the Mercury Insurance Perfect Pitch Skill Challenge, a new game within 15 selected Ducks home games this season. The contest, which will give one lucky participant the chance to throw with the pros and win $10,000 throughout the season, will occur between the top and bottom of the sixth inning. To win the grand prize, each aspiring pitcher will need to throw three strikes through a 9's8221; target from a distance of 60's8217; 6's8221; 's8211; and do so before throwing four balls.



To be eligible, Ducks fans must visit the Mercury booth located on the main concourse inside the stadium and complete a registration form before the start of the fourth inning. Participants must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver's8217;s license. The Ducks will draw one name at each game and the winner will be invited onto the field to pitch.



's8220;Mercury Insurance is committed to serving New York, and we are honored to be part of the state'ss rich baseball history,'s8221; said Mercury Advertising Director, Erik Thompson.

No contestant will go away empty handed; each participant in the Mercury Insurance Perfect Pitch Skill Challenge will win a suite for an upcoming game for throwing two strikes; an autographed bat for throwing one strike; and four tickets to a future Ducks game just for competing. Also, a Ducks sweatshirt will be given out at 36 regular season games to the holder of the Duck Call program with a Mercury Insurance ad signed by a Ducks star.



's8220;Mercury Insurance is a dynamic, growing company that shares the Ducks commitment to providing top-quality products at a great price, and we are proud to be partnering with them throughout the entire season,'s8221; says Ducks General Manager Michael Hirsch.
