Florida Students Use Catapult To Launch First Pitch at a Baseball Game- Randi Thompson

A catapult is a device in which accumulated tension is suddenly released to hurl an object some distance, in particular. A group of Florida high school students won the opportunity to use a catapult they built to launch the first pitch at a Major League Baseball game. Students from Coral Park Ram Tech engineering team were able to launch a strike at Miami Marlin's mascot before the teams game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday.
The pitch traveled across the plate at a high speed and managed to knock Billy down.
A day earlier the engineering team from Coral Park high school won the opportunity to launch the first pitch by participating in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math.
The students from Coral Park High were victorious over a team from Ramblewood Middle School by pitching two strikes.
Well, after the that the catapult broke down repeatedly and never worked.
