Teams of 11 and 12 year old all star baseball players are in Wrangell this week for the Southeast major league tournament. Petersburg won its first game Sunday 13-3 against Prince of Wales and plays again Monday at 3 p.m. against Sitka. Twelve boys and girls make up Petersburg’s all-star team, which has been practicing together for about three weeks.
