The firefighters from Nikiski and Kenai put up a valiant effort and almost mounted a comeback in the final inning, but the boys in blue ultimately won the game 6-5 and walked away with this year’s bragging rights. Bailey Epperheimer, executive director for the Nikiski Children’s Fund, said that they were able to raise over $1800 on Friday night, the most amount of money raised by the nonprofit from a single event.
