DubSea Fish Sticks record first sell out in franchise history

The DubSea Fish Sticks summer collegiate baseball team’s Opening Night on Saturday June 3rd sold out today. 

“We had a goal this year of selling out multiple games and Opening Night was first on our list” Explained President Justin Moser. 

This is the first sell out in franchise history, since they started as the Highline Bears in 2015.

The team hosts their events at Mel Olson Stadium which is located inside of King County’s Steve Cox Memorial Park in White Center, nicknamed “The Fryer”. 

The team is known for their crazy antics including throwing out a ceremonial first fish. Where the honoree flings a fish towards home plate instead of a baseball. During non-league games the team also runs an open raffle for a random fan to sign a one day contract and lead off in the game for the Fish Sticks as the “Fan Batter of the Night”.
