1944 All-Star Game: The West is Best

--------

Cambria, Oxford (BP) – The Western League got back into the win column today, winning their first All-Star Game in four seasons. The seventh annual United Leagues All-Star Game was held at Alexander Field in Cambria. Despite a steady rain and a fresh 21-mph wind blowing in from right field, the game went off without any delays and the stadium was packed with over 24,700 braving the elements.

Kingston’s RHP Joey Cumberledge started for the Westerners, while Stratford’s LHP Joel Fearn took the mound for the Eastern League.

Top of the 1st:
The Eastern League gets their lone run of the game early. After C Kane Broom and SS Gary Watkinson single with one out to put runners on first and second, a wild pitch during 1B Jim Friend’s subsequent at-bat move the runners up. Friend then hits into a 6-3 groundout, scoring Broom.
Eastern All-Stars 1 – Western All-Stars 0

Bottom of the 2nd:
After getting two quick outs, Joel Fearn surrenders four consecutive singles to LF Jayden Tennant, 2B Mo Symes, RHP Joey Cumberledge and CF Zak Kidd. Cumberledge’s single scores Tennant and Kidd re-loads the bases. But Fearn gets 3B Otton Overbeek to pop-up (F3) to limit the damage.
Eastern All-Stars 1 – Western All-Stars 1

Bottom of the 4th:
Embro’s RHP Oscar Burress takes the mound to start the inning and quickly runs into trouble. Burress immediately surrenders back-to-back singles to 1B Fergus Chitty and Jayden Tennant. Mo Symes follows with a double, scoring both Chitty and Tennant before the Eastern League can record their first out.
Eastern All-Stars 1 – Western All-Stars 3

Bottom of the 6th:
Embro’s RHP Colm Soper starts the inning for the Eastern League, and like Joe Fearn back in the second inning, Soper gets two quick outs. But Soper then surrenders back-to-back walks to 3B Terry Maxwell and PH Clint Jones. PH Rizalino Ringor, appearing in his first all-star game, singles in Maxwell for the Western League’s fourth and final run. The Easteners are unable to mount any sort of rally in the remaining innings, ending their 3-game winning streak.
Eastern All-Stars 1 – Western All-Stars 4

Kingston’s Jayden Tennant won Player of the Game honours, going 2-3 with 2 R.
