All-Star Game
On what was an incredible day weather wise the allstar game started with the home run contest, where Matt "the bruiser" Nashlenas won belting 6 homers out of Thompson in 2 rounds. The game started with the rag tag team slapped together for Kyle Leslie who's team was home, as Rick (Mr. Absent) Dorns team was assembled as Visitor. The home team split up the pitching with 4 different hurlers as well as showed the fans how to have some fun with banter in the dugout, this carried over to the field with laughs, more bantering and many, many errors. On the other side a light hearted approach from a group of players focused in on hitting the crap out of the ball. Kevin Beaudry pitched a complete game with 5 strikeouts, as well as helping his own cause going 1-2 with a line shot double just missing the fence by inches, handing the Leslie team a fun filled 6-3 loss in a fast 1:45min game in front of a sold out park. With no beer in site both teams cleared the dugouts fast to hit the outfield area for drinks and chat about the game.
MVP of the game goes to Marc Karbowiak going 3-4 and scoring 4 times while catching a great game for Kevin Beaudry. Honorable mention goes to Matt Nashlenas for hitting a Home run in the last half of the 7th to make things interesting.
Thank you to all who watched, played and to the umpires, Ted Williams and Lisa Brown for making this another successful All-Star game, good sportsmanship and laughs had by all. . boxscore
