- Home Run Contest - All-Star Game Starters - All-Star Balloting Results
The game was sloppy -- there were 5 hit-batsman, even though they didn't lead to any brawls -- but the American Conference team got timely hitting from home crowd favorite Jim Edmonds, who drove in 4 with a single and a double, and won the game 5-4 despite being out-hit 9-5. Mark Clark of the Tri-State Traffic picked up the win, working out of a bases-loaded jam that he inherited from teammate Brian Bohanon in the 3rd, while the Seattle Rainiers' Randy Johnson took the loss. Former Devil and current Motor City Marauder Robb Nen got the final two outs for the save, retiring former Devils Brent Mayne (New York Monarchs) and Harold Baines (San Diego Quakes) to end the game. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E ------------------------------------------- NCA 0 1 0 0 0 0 2 0 1 4 9 1 ACA 0 0 3 0 2 0 0 0 0 5 5 1 ------------------------------------------- BATTERS NCA AB R H RI 2B 3B HR SB CS BB K PL PR 1 2b NCA LAS Offerman 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 1 2b NCA FAR Durham 2 1 2 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 c NCA LAS Kendall 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 2 ph NCA NYM Mayne 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 dh NCA NYM Walker 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 1 3 ph-dh NCA SDQ Baines 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 4 cf NCA FAR Sosa 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2 4 ph-rf NCA SPO Green 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 1b NCA CSP Bagwell 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 5 ph-1b NCA WEA Palmeiro 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 6 3b NCA CSP JonesC. 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 6 ph-3b NCA LAS Cirillo 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 7 ss NCA CSP Garciaparra 2 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 7 ph-ss NCA SEA Rodriguez 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 8 lf NCA LAS Stairs 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 8 lf NCA SDQ Bonds 2 2 2 2 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 1 1 9 rf NCA COL GuerreroV. 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 9 ph NCA MCN Floyd 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 9 cf NCA MAD Damon 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 TOTALS for NCA 34 4 9 4 1 1 3 1 0 2 4 15 24 PITCHERS NCA IP H R ER BB K HR - NCA CSP Martinez 2.0 0 0 0 0 2 0 L NCA SEA Johnson 0.2 3 3 3 1 1 0 - NCA FAR Maddux 1.1 0 0 0 0 2 0 - NCA COL Wood 0.1 1 2 2 1 0 0 - NCA SDQ Elarton 0.2 1 0 0 0 0 0 - NCA SDQ Park 1.0 0 0 0 0 1 0 - NCA LAS Jackson 1.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - NCA WEA Gordon 0.1 0 0 0 0 0 0 - NCA BUZ Hoffman 0.2 0 0 0 0 0 0 TOTALS for NCA 8.0 5 5 5 2 6 0 LOB: 8 E: 1 - Sosa.

The AC had a big win in the overall department, but Sammy Sosa, who nearly avoided making the semi-finals and finals an all-AC affair, got hot in those rounds and won the HR-hitting crown.

Thanks to everyone who voted. Final tallies show 24 votes for the AC starters and 22 for the NC (one ballot omitted the DH in each conference, hence that inconsistency). Of the 24 voters, four voted through e-mail while the vast majority chose the online balloting (something to keep in mind for the future). Eleven of the league's twenty-four teams send at least one starter, with four teams sending multiple players. San Jose, Caspar, and Las Vegas, the league's top three teams, each send three starters.
