Sophomore Sam White was the lone All-Star to reach base three times, going 2-3 with a walk and a stolen base in the contest. His leadoff single in the fourth led to the game-tying run after a balk moved White to second and a one-out single from teammate Koby Kropf advanced him to third before scoring on a wild pitch to knot the game at two.
Sophomore Nick Barrone was 0-1 in two plate appearances on the evening but registered the game-winning run in the eighth with a deep sacrifice RBI fly ball to centerfield for the 3-2 West advantage.
