North Defeats South 2-1 in Hamptons League All Star Game

Early on it looked like it would be a slug fest in the Hamptons All Star Game. 

The South All Stars took the lead in the third inning on a solo shot to right center field by Kyle Colletta of Northern Kentucky. 


That was quickly erased when Eddie Haus of St. Mary’s smacked a long two-run HR to left center field to give the North All Stars a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the third that was nearly robbed, but the ball came out of the glove of the left fielder.

The pitchers turned it on after that, with both teams failing to scrape another run across the board. The pitching and defense on both sides were tremendous, notably the shortstop play of Matt McCann and Bobby Honeyman.

This was the third consecutive victory by the North in the annual All Star game.

There were a bevy of Major League scouts in attendance as several of the pitchers lit up the radar screen with high 80s and low 90s heat.
