On a cloudy night that threatened rain at Steve Cox Field the Islanders defeated the Rainiers 20 to 10 in PSSBL baseball play. The fourth place Islanders maintained their standing with an explosive 7th inning that the Rainiers couldn't overcome. The game was in doubt with the Rainiers up by one run but the Islanders took control and never looked back when the Rainiers committed several pitching and fielding errors that resulted in 7 runs in the 7th inning for the Islanders.

Frustration was evident within the Rainiers players when a Rainiers batter challenged the home plate umpire on a called strike and was ejected from the game. The batter was convinced that the curve ball thrown was clearly outside the plate. However the umpire was not impressed with his argument and decided to end the conversation with an ejection.

Last night at Seath Field in the Rocky division the Diablos defeated the Sea Wolves 13 to 4.

PSSBL play continues in the West Seattle area with three Cascade division games being played at Chief Sealth H.S next week.
