Much like the New Deal, free refills, and ownership of the moon, baseball helped make America the great nation it is today. Salute our national pastime with today’s Groupon to The Hitting Zone in Winston-Salem. Choose between the following options:

For $19, you get a 25-token punch card (a $35 value).
• Each token is equivalent to 20 pitches (a total of 500 pitches).
Five tokens will be issued at one time.
• For $20, you get a one-hour batting-cage rental (a $45 value).
  
  

For more than a decade, The Hitting Zone has helped baseball and softball players hone their slugging skills with top-notch batting cages. Its newly renovated facility includes seven new batting cages, new token machines, professional-quality turf, and enhanced lighting. While three cages devour tokens and spit out speedy pitches, schedule-savvy batters claim one of four regular cages for a designated hour of ball-pummeling against a Cy Young android lookalike.

Though not included in this Groupon, The Hitting Zone also hosts camps and clinics for children, as well as personal and group instruction led by professional instructors, including 1994 Double-A All-Star pitcher and mediocre grilled-cheese chef Ken Carlyle.
