The 80th AAABA Tournament official opener brought 6,188 fans to Sargent’s Stadium at the Point, as Johnstown Mainline Pharmacy outlasted Cleveland B2Bulls 15-7.
The pregame hoopla included the traditional parade of AAABA Ambassadors brought into the Point in convertibles from the Flood City Corvette Club. The Bomb Squad on the hillside added to the atmosphere with booming responses to key points of the game, which saw Mainline Pharmacy score 13 runs over its final three at-bats to overcome a 3-2 deficit.
