I did not get a chance to watch the Rising Stars game last night as I attended a Dark Star Orchestra (Dead cover band) concert in Philadelphia. As it turns out, both were good shows. Funny, I wore my Dodgers long sleeve T to the show, how Phillies fans still talk junk after getting their asses handed to them by the Yankees in the World Series.
Back to the Rising Stars game. The AFL East squad jumped all over Braves pitching prospect Mike Minor scoring 7 runs on 7 hits and a walk in 2/3rds of an inning, but the West team came roaring back and got to Nats prospect, and future closer, Drew Storen for 2 runs in bottom of the 8th to overcome the early 7 runs deficit to win 8-7.
