NEW ORLEANS - Jerry Carroll's two-run shot to left caps a three-run 3rd off Steve Bruce (L, 3 IP, 4 R, 6 H, 1 BB) as the Western All-Stars defeat the East, 4 to 2. Carroll was named the game's MVP for his 391-foot blast that scored Sean Baugh after Scott Heyer's (2 for 3) sacrifice fly plated John Allen. Joseph Palmer (3 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 2 K) picks up the win, while Dave Samuelson (1 IP, 1 R, 3 H) is credited with the save. Ken Bennett was 3 for 4 with a run and a RBI in a losing effort.
