D-BAT Billings

With one more year of self-funding still required under a three-year agreement, those in charge of the campaign to finance the program — as well as School District 2 officials — are sounding the alarm that the sport’s future is in jeopardy because of current fundraising shortfalls.

"Unfortunately I think there's a perception out there that Billings has high school baseball," said D.J. Smith, a lead organizer and board member for Advocates for Billings Baseball, the community group tasked with raising the money to keep the program running.

"Billings had high school baseball for the last two years. It's not promised for next year at all. So we need, as a community, to come together and fund this program."

💧⚾🥎 Happy National Hydration Day! 🥎⚾💧

Let's be honest... drinking water isn't always the most exciting part of being an athlete.

But staying hydrated is one of the easiest ways to improve your performance.

✅ More energy
✅ Better focus
✅ Faster recovery
✅ Fewer cramps
✅ Better performance on the field

Whether you're taking swings in the cage, playing in a tournament, or just enjoying summer break, don't forget to keep that water bottle nearby.

Your body will thank you later. 💪💧
