All-Star Game - July 11, 2012

In an eerie case of Art imitating Life, the game declared as our All-Star game was a blow-out, shutout and was over pretty early.

AL starter, Matt Lindsay did manage to escape a first inning bases loaded jam, but after that the NL All Stars scored 2 runs in the 2nd, 4 in the 3rd, 2 in the 4th, and 1 in the 5th. Kind of a piling on situation, one might say, as all they needed was 1.

AL batters were hitless into the fourth.  I really thought we might have the OW&AC's first ever PERFECT GAME. It was not to be as Kev Gutekunst managed a seeing-eye single off NL pitcher Mosser to lead off the 4th. In the bottom of the sixth, the AL managed to load the bases, but Brent Mack induced a game ending grounder to preserve the shutout.
