The Ketchikan Merchants Baseball Club traveled to Puyallup, Washington to the land of the Sharks - the South Sound Sharks baseball team that is - to play a double header on Thursday. Game one saw Casey Bass start out a little wild but Bass settled down to pitch a good game. Bass gave up 5 hits, 4 walks, 3 earned runs and struck out 5 Sharks' batters. Head Coach Fred Bass reported it was a good game considering Ketchikan committed 5 errors and left 6 men on base. The Ketchikan Merchants hit the ball better but South Sound Sharks pitching struck out 5. Ketchikan had several hard hit balls.

Final score of game one: South Sound Sharks 4 and Ketchikan Merchants 1.

In game two of the double header against the South Sound Sharks, Matt Way of the Ketchikan Merchants pitched. Way gave up 9 hits, 8 walks, 5 earned runs and struck out 9. Ketchikan Manager and Head Coach Fred Bass noted the second game could have been much closer as Ketchikan had 7 hits, 3 earned runs, and left 6 men on base but committed 7 errors with 5 on routine plays.

Final score: South Sound Sharks 9 and Ketchikan Merchants 3.
