Coast Guard Night In Paducah

By John Crivello

For the past six seasons, the Paducah Chiefs of the Ohio Valley Baseball League have had one game night dedicated to recognizing U.S. Coast Guard members and their families stationed in Paducah.

On July 2, the Paducah Propeller Club treated the Coast Guard to general admission tickets and complementary food in the Diamond Deck.  The night was a joint social event with many Propeller Club members present

All were treated to an 11 to 1 win by the Chiefs over the Owensboro River Dawgs.
