RU STARS NIPS TU STARS 6-5 IN 13 INNINGS
In the 44th edition of the IPA All-Star Game, played at War Memorial Stadium in Valmara, Ruthlandia took advantage of terrible defense by Tycobbia to score five unearned runs and take a 6-5 decision in 13 innings... the TU Stars logged 7 errors in a very poor display of baseball... the Ruthlandian All-Stars won for the second straight season and cut the Tycobbia lead in the series to 28-16.

Ruthlandia was outhit 16-11 by the TU Stars... top hitters for the RU Stars were SS Mel Smith (Beechwood) and C Ryan Nelms (Taranto) with two hits apiece... LF Nioka Inkamara (Wynnamac) has the RU Stars only homer, a solo shot... Tycobbia was paced by six players with two hits each: LF Rikky Van Dalen (Cape Coral), RF Paolo Teixeira (San Alejo), C Corky DiNozzo (Kenwood), 3B Elton Jacoby (South Fork), RF Warren Sonnier (Turon) and 2B Jerry Culpepper (Bayview)... SS Kent Mantle (Cape Coral) homered in defeat for Tycobbia.

The game's Most Valuable Player was Sammy Wright (Cold Creek), who notched the victory with five innings of relief, holding the TU Stars to one run and three hits... he worked the final five innings of the game... the loser was Van Johnson, who tossed six and two-thirds innings, yielding two unearned runs on six hits.
