MONROE, La. – Former ULM baseball player Chad Bell claimed the $10,000 prize Tuesday night in the HitTrax Open.
Bell, who is currently in the New York Yankees minor league system, defeated former Ragin' Cajuns player and current St. Louis Cardinals minor leaguer Todd Lott, 2-0 in a best-of-three championship match.
"Facing a guy in the finals that you know, especially with the talent Todd has, is always fun," Bell said. "It makes it a little more competitive."
The HitTrax Open was organized to pit 32 current minor league and independent league baseball players in a tournament using HitTrax technology and gaming.
