1st All-Star Game for The Bigs- having a blast

The 1st All-Star Game for the newly created world The Bigs ends in a dramatic 7-6 victory for the AL over a plucky NL team.
The scoring opened up in the 2nd inning, as the teams traded runs. Trenton's Artie Neugebauer hit a 2-run single with two out to give the NL a short-lived 2-0 lead. The AL answered back in the bottom of the inning as New York's Pete Duvall connected for a 2-run homer off of NL starting pitcher David Dunwoody of Salem- it was the first of two for Duvall. After an RBI groundout by Houston's Omar Cruz gave the NL a 3-2 lead, Duvall's 2nd shot came in the 4th to break a 3-3 tie, which was achieved on a solo shot from his teammate King Winn earlier in the inning. Monterrey's Moose Coleman's solo HR in the 5th was answered by Cincinnati's Paul Lamb in the 7th, taking us to 6-4.

The score held until an exciting 9th inning. Lousiville closer Justin Lawrence came in the game to close the deal, but with 2 out and a man on 1st, the last hope for the NL was Houston's superstar shortstop Lawrence Flanagan, who delivered in the clutch with a 2-run homerun to tie the game. But the All-Stars were not quite done playing home-run derby as Monterrey's Cody Lincoln sent the AL fans home happy with a walk-off homerun off of Cincinnati's Wily Mo Owens. Lincoln's dramatics earned him the MVP award for the game. The capacity crowd at McCoy stadium seemed to enjoy both the all-star experience and the amazing game.
