The PSSBL celebrated a bang-up 4th of July holiday weekend with divisional All Star Games and a Home Run Derby. Seven different All Star games were played, including a "grudge match" between the Adams and Rocky Divisions. Bellevue Community College and the University of Washington were the settings for baseball fun, sun, and cameraderie. Congratulations again to all the All Star selections, and thanks to the division commissioners and GM's for coordinating the events. If you have photos from the weekend, feel free to post them to the PSSBL Group at Facebook.
For the first time we held the PSSBL Home Run Derby as part of the 4th of July Weekend festivities. The competition, which was open to all PSSBL members, took place Sunday, July 5th, at BCC. The 21 & Over crown went to Mario Garza of the Olympic Brewers. The 35 & Over competition was hotly contested and came down to a "sudden death" round featuring Scott Dillinger of the Cascade Orioles/Sierra Beavers, Ben Torres of the Sierra Beavers, and Tony Scaia, Sierra Dodgers. Scaia hit a shot over the left field wall and was named 35 & Over HR Derby champion. Thanks to all the participants including BP pitchers, catchers, and division commissioners.
Congrats to the PSSBL Home Run Derby Champs!
