PSSBL ALL-Stars 8 Everett Merchants 7
It was a beautiful night for baseball Saturday, June 28th, at Everett Memorial Stadium. A PSSBL All Star team was invited to play the Everett Merchants in a benefit baseball game hosted by Veterans of Chapter XVI Society of the 173rd Airborne, Chapter 16 US Special Forces Association, and ARVN 81st Airborne Rangers.
The PSSBL team took an early 6-2 lead, but the Merchants battled back to tie the game 6-6 in the 8th. The All-Stars scored two in the top of the 9th and held on to win, surrending one run to the Merchants in the bottom of the frame.
