In the annual mayor’s competition Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger beat Flint City administrator Sylvester Jones in pickleball.

The competition dates back to 1958 and is based on foundations of friendship between the two communities. This year the games were held in Hamilton on back-to-back years, because of problems with the municipal water supply in Flint. Next summer’s games return to Flint.
