Everett, WA – A few late-in-the-game hits for the Merchants put them up 2-0, allowing them to win The Everett Cup.
The game started off slow for both teams with the game remaining scoreless until the top of the sixth. A leadoff walk for the Merchants in the sixth started the ball rolling with runners on the corners and two outs. A two-RBI double down the third base line by Nic Anderson put the Merchants in the lead, scoring the only runs of the game.
The Frogs successfully held the Merchants for the rest of the game; however, they were unable to cross the plate themselves. As a team, the Sox accumulated three hits and one error while the Merchants posted five hits and no errors.
