RU ALL-STAR HURLERS SHUT DOWN TU ALL-STARS IN 88TH ALL-STAR CLASSIC
Yeah, buddy, good pitching seems to beat good hitting. The best batters in the Tycobbian Union were shut down by the best hurlers in the Ruthlandian Union in the 88th edition
of the Islandian Pro Alliance All-Star Classic played at Capitol Park Stadium in La Claire. The Ruthlandian All-Stars triumphed over the Tycobbian All-Stars 7-2, restricting them
to just 5 hits. The RU Stars collected 10 hits overall. Ruthlandia got crucial hits from catcher Gavin Foxton (Colfax) and second sacker Tim Bozeman (Colfax). Foxton slugged a
2-run homer in the 3rd frame when they tagged Fairfax rookie Don Carroll for 3 scores. Bozeman highlighted the 4-run 9th inning with a base-clearing 3-run double off Tyrus
Hobbs (Kenwood). Bozeman was named the game's Most Valuable Player. Catcher Henni Hendriks (Summerland) hammered a solo swat out of the park for Tycobbia. In spite of the defeat,
the Tycobbian Union still has a huge 56-32 advantage in the annual clash.
