National League Crushes American League in BUNT's Summer Classic!
 

   The AL Stars jumped off to a 3-0 lead after 1 inning, but an 8-run NL second set the stage for a rout by the senior circuit in the annual BUNT All Star Game.  The NL went on to add 3 more runs, while they held the AL scoreless the rest of the way, to claim the 11-3 victory.

   Brad Hawpe went 2 for 3 with a double, home run and 4 RBIs to share MVP honors with Chipper Jones who went 2 for 4 with a double, home run and 3 RBI's.

   Albert Pujols came in as a pinch hitter in the fateful 2nd inning and wound up getting 2 at bats that inning as the NL batted around, and then some.  The trouble started when Wolverine ace Ted Lilly allowed the first 3 batters to reach base.  AL and Wolverine manager Bob Freyman saw enough and put in Chris Young.  Young proceeded to allow all 3 to score as well as 5 more he put on with Hawpe's 3 run HR bringing in the final runs of the inning.

   Meanwhile, the NL managed to get decent pitching out of the 9 pitchers who followed starter Justin Verlander after his tough first inning.  In addition to hitting and pitching better, the NL also seemed to field better turning 3 double plays and not making any errors.  The AL, on the other hand, made 3 errors and turned no double plays.
