The AL All Stars performed strongly with excellent pitching performances turned in by Sean Clark, Nick Smallwood, Robbie Ferreira and Matt Branson. Solid hitting by the entire team along with nearly flawless fielding kept the AL All Stars out in front for every inning - with 2 games ending after just four innings of play due to the 10-run rule.
