7/11/10- This years All Star game was another classic game for the record books. The South consisted of Pat Ramsey, Alex Pompei, and was captained by Benny B for the third straight year. The North consisted of Eric Koloski, Ri Ri Mcallister (Substituted by Chico Morales), and captained by Bronze Kelly for the third straight year. The south came into this matchup 2-0 in All Star games. The North had other plans however. Pompei and Chico were scheduled to pitch the first innings for their teams. Pompei allowed 1 run and escaped a bases loaded situation. Chico allowed 1 HR to Benny B. The game was tied 1-1 after 1 inning. The more recognized pitchers of Eric Koloski, Benny B, Bronze Kelly, and Pat Ramsey took over the mound for the rest of the game. It was a battle to set up any offensive threat. The game quickly became an extra inning ordeal. During extra innings, Pat Ramsey completely hit the zone and became unstoppable. Benny B described it as "The most unbelievable pitching performance I have ever seen from any player in the league, absolutely ridiculous". Not only did Ramsey light up the mound but he also almost ended the game twice off of Koloski, with big triples. The South came close again in the bottom of the 14th inning when Benny B hit the top of the roof off of Bronze, the ball just didn't have the extra foot of distance. Trouble hit for the South in the 15th. Pompei started off the inning by walking Chico. Ramsey then followed up with a walk of his own. It eventually went down to a bases loaded, 2 out scenario. Ramsey was facing Koloski, and he just didnt have it. He issued a 5 pitch walk and the North took the lead. Pompei then came up big against chico to keep the lead to a minimum. The South still couldnt catch a break on offense as their hits were eaten up by Bronze in center field. The game finally ended after 15 long innings, which tied the record for longest game in 2010. Koloski was elected the MVP with a great pitching performance, 2 hits, and the winning RBI. The South can still boast the better record of 2-1, but the North proved that they are here, and here to stay for many years.
7/11/10- Eric Koloski and Benny B made the finals of the HR Derby. Koloski was defending his title from 2009, and Benny B was in his first HR Derby final. Koloski started off first. His pitcher as well as Benny B's was Chico Jose Morales. Koloski finished with 3 HR's. Benny B came up next and quickly hit 2 HR. At 2 HR's and no outs, many thought it was over. But as fate would have it for Koloski, Benny B then went 10 straight outs without a HR and Koloski took the crown again. Congratulations to the 2010 HR Derby Champion, Eric Koloski

The game ended 81-14 with a North victory. The game will be known for its classic Brawls. Chico started off the night with the quick sudden destruction of Matt. Chico went 2-0 and had the championship, until Wes took a unanimous decision win. Wes ended the night 1-1 with the championship, Chico was 2-1, and Wark was 0-2.
