South Tops North 6-0 In Southern League All-Star Game

July 18, 2013

The North Division was held to just one hit in the South Division’s 6-0 win in the Southern League All-Star Game at Bragan Field at the Baseball Ground of Jacksonville on Wednesday night.

Blue Wahoos pitchers Tim Crabbe and Shaun Ellis both got in the game in successive innings. Crabbe worked a scoreless fifth allowing just a hit. Ellis shut out the North Division in the sixth inning with a strikeout and a walk.

Jackson’s James Jones had the only hit for the North Division, a double in the fifth. Offensively, the game belonged to the South. The Wahoos’ division blasted 11 hits resulting in six runs. Mobile’s Mike Freeman was one of three South squaders with a pair of hits. He also scored a pair of runs. Montgomery’s Cameron Seitzer, who was the home run derby champ earlier in the evening, delivered a pair of hits and a run batted in. Mississippi’s Jaime Pedroza had the other dual-hit game for the South squad.

The BayBears’ Justin Greene was awarded MVP for his RBI triple to get the scoring started in the bottom of the first. With the one-hit shutout thrown by the South Division, that run proved to be the game-winner.

This is the second straight All-Star Game win for the South. David Holmberg, also from Mobile, earned the win. He started and worked a perfect first inning with a strikeout.

The Blue Wahoos will return to action on Thursday night at home as they open up a series against the Huntsville Stars at 7 p.m. Daniel Renken (3-6, 3.91) is the scheduled starter for the Wahoos while Huntsville has not yet named a starter.
