GAME RECAP: Small Ball Fuels Rally for 5 Star National in Tie Against Bonnie Monarchs
by Gabe Zoda In the second game of an All Star Baseball Academy double header, Five Star National 2026 showcased exceptional small ball play to secure a tie in a late game rally against the Bonnie Monarchs.

Could you ask for a better start? That set the stage for Tyler Plugues who, with the infield in, rocketed a single past the diving 3rd baseman to score in the games first run.
