Providence, RI - February 11, 2007 -- There will be no more guessing or disputes about the score of a backyard baseball game when baseball fans discover Junk Ball’s NEW Ghost Runner Baseball (SRP $29.99). It does more than just keep track of runners on base and the score.

With electronic lights and sounds Ghost Runner keeps track of innings played, team at bat and the number of outs in each inning. It automatically switches teams after three outs are recorded. Information is entered into Ghost Runner’s electronic home plate with the simple touch of a button/base. Ghost Runner keeps track of base runners, runs scored, team at bat, innings and outs.

“Junk Ball Ghost Runner brings high technology to backyard baseball games. This phantom umpire adds ball park excitement and scorekeeping to backyard Junk Ball games.” commented Kirk Bozigian, Vice President of Marketing for Junk Ball.

Junk Ball Ghost Runner is designed for ages 6 & up.

Since the introduction of Junk Ball in 2005, the product line continues to receive rave reviews for they way it’s changed plastic backyard baseball. The Junk Ball Backyard Baseball is an official sized plastic baseball with patent pending “Program Your Pitch” red ring that changes the way air flows through the ball. Skuff marks on one side of the ball increases air resistance over the ball. Pitchers change Junk Ball’s direction en route to the batter by simply moving the ring to cover or uncover the holes on the ball and changing the the position of their hand on the ball. With a little practice, just about anyone can throw a variety of “junk” pitches including curves, fastballs, sinkers, risers, sliders, even knuckleballs. Junk Ball’s bat features high tech aerodynamic styling with a thinner handle and wider bat head along with a textured grip and “sweet spot” for greater hitting power.
