Smith MVP of 2306 MYL All-Star Game
All-Star Far Harbor Dockdwellers' shortstop Diet Smith had a night to remember.
Not only did he take the field with the game's best players, he was also a huge factor in the 3-0 Mount Desert Island Four victory over the Great Diamond Island League All-Stars.
"We had a meeting before the game, and I was struck by the talent in the room. Old stars, young stars, it's a game I'll never forget," Smith said. "I talked to a few of my friends from back home, and they told me to go out and win the game for them. I'm sure they'll be thrilled."
In his career, Smith is hitting .210 with a total of 14 home runs.
MYL All-Star Rosters
Nothing is for certain about the 2306 Maine Youth Leagues All-Star Game. It might be dominated by top-notch pitching performances. Or it could turn into a home run derby. Who knows? Pitch by pitch, inning by inning, the game could feature a little of both -- six strikeouts in a row by a nasty southpaw -- or a 3-homer day for some superstar slugger -- plus great catches, thrills, chills and spills -- all the great and the unexpected things that can happen in a baseball game.
