Lance Pixa, a 12-year-old Pony Bronco player, hit his first over the fence home run in Los Alamitos Youth Baseball league earlier this month.
Lance’s best friend, CJ Brown, was on first base when the ball went over the wall and he was the first to greet him at home plate.
The following game on Thursday April 6, Lance was up with CJ on first base again. And once again the home run slugger delivered and Lance hit three homers over the same part of the fence.
Ironically enough, the part of the field where Lance hit all four homeruns is where is father’s company sponsorship sign is hung.
Lance plays for the LAYB Bronco Red Sox during the spring and is also part of the OC Invaders, which is a travel baseball team based out of Seal Beach.
He and his teammates will be headed to Cooperstown, New York this summer to play in a national tournament and visit the baseball Hall of Fame.
Lance lives in Seal Beach and is a sixth-grader attending St. Joseph in Long Beach.
