Game summary

After the conclusion of the skills competition, each team took live batting practice on the field. After this, the grounds crew prepped the field as the pregame ceremonies began at 6:30. After the rosters were announced, the players took the field for a 7:00 gametime.

After West Division starting pitcher Tim Boyce (North Adams) worked a scoreless top of the first, the West scored the game's first run when Jake Rosenbeck (Holyoke) grounded into a double play. This scored Henry Dunn (Vermont), who had doubled to lead off the inning, to make the score 1-0.

The East quickly answered in the top of the second off of pitcher Tommy Meagher (Keene). After a Ben Waldrip (North Shore) single and a walk by Patrick Brady (North Shore), Kyle Felix (Lowell) singled in Waldrip to tie the score at one. Mark Micowski (Sanford) later reached on a fielder's choice to put the East ahead 2-1.

The West All-Stars responded in the bottom of the third on an RBI single by Jake Rosenbeck which scored Henry Dunn to tie the score at two. However, the East retook the lead in the top of the fourth on a Dave Gustafson (Lowell) single which scored Aaron Westlake (Newport). The lead was extended to 4-2 when Taylor Featherston (New Bedford) singled in Gustafson.

The West got a run back in the bottom half of the fourth when a Taylor Featherston error on a Clay Jones (Vermont) grounder allowed Mike Fabiaschi (Danbury) to score.

After a scoreless top of the fifth pitched by Brach Davis (North Adams), the West scored three times in the bottom of the inning. After loading the bases on a single and two walks, Mike Fabiaschi hit a sacrifice fly to center to score Jake Rosenbeck and tie the game at four. The next batter, Brandon Macias (North Adams), gave the West the lead with a two-out, two RBI single to right field, scoring John Schultz (North Adams) and Chris Edmondson (Keene) to give the West a 6-4 lead.

Although the East was able to pull back one run in the eighth on an RBI groundout by Dylan Pratt (Sanford), the West prevailed 6-5. After giving up four runs in the first four innings, the West Division’s pitching staff allowed only one run over the final five frames, with an inning each from Brach Davis, Rob Kumbatovic (Vermont), Robert Young (Pittsfield), Austin Evans (Vermont), and Ricky Rogers (Keene).
