Pall Bearers Show Class In Games But Still Lack Punch
The Pall Bearers, defending champions, were edged by the McKinleys 7 to 5 as their lineup faced key absences. McKinleys benefited from a sharp fielding effort and an error-filled rally by Pall Bearers, while substitutions at first base and behind the plate stabilized their defense.
