The East Division won the game, which was held in Little Falls, home of the Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs. for the fourth year in a row, 18-2. Vaughan began the day for the Dutchmen by hitting two home runs out of Veteran’s Memorial Park. Vaughan’s total was good for third amongst the ten competitors, with the top two advancing to the final round. Saugerties’ Clint Hardy (Georgia Regents) won the contest with three in each round. The game itself was contested in front of a nearly sold-out crowd in Little Falls. Cioffi pitched for the East Division in the second inning, and allowed just a two-out walk to Josh Lovelady (Mississippi State) of Elmira. The righty induced two groundouts and a pop out to work a scoreless inning. Remillard put several hard-hit balls in play, but was not able to reach. Reitcheck tossed the final inning of the game for the East, getting a strikeout, a pop out and a groundout to work a 1-2-3 inning. The game MVP was awarded to Amsterdam’s Scott Manea (NC State), who hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning.
