In a battle of East End artists verses writers, it was the artists who dominated for much of the softball game, and in the end, took home bragging rights with a 7-4 win. Proceeds from the afternoon benefited Phoenix House, The Retreat, East End Hospice and the Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center.
