GAME AUDIO: Moss' two-run blast.

The Liberty Division struck right away as Southern Maryland’s Casey Benjamin launched a first-pitch home run over the right field wall off Freedom Division starter Jesus Sanchez of York. The Liberty extended their lead to 2-0 in the second against Lancaster’s Ben Fritz on a RBI single to left by the Blue Crabs’ Travis Garcia.

The Freedom Division cracked the scoreboard in the fifth against Matt Pike of Bridgeport. Lancaster’s Aaron Herr singled, stole second, and came around to score on a RBI single to center by the Patriots’ Matt Hagen to cut the deficit to 2-1.

A RBI single to right by Southern Maryland’s Matt Craig and a two-run homer to center by Bridgeport’s Steve Moss in the bottom of the fifth put the Liberty Division ahead 5-1. The lead was pushed to six with a two-spot in the sixth off reliever Bubba O’Donnell of Newark, highlighted by a RBI double from the Ducks’ Erick Monzon and a RBI single from Craig.

Long Island’s Randy Leek started and earned the victory, tossing two perfect innings with a strikeout. Sanchez took the loss, allowing one run and one hit in his one inning of work.

Moss garnered the Stephen R. Shilling Award as the All-Star Game’s Most Valuable Player, as he went 2-for-2 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored, and a walk. Moss, Craig, Garcia, and Garrett Guzman all led the Liberty Division offense with two hits.
