BABSON PARK, Fla. - The 2012 Sun Conference All-Star game saw all of the scoring come in the top of the third inning as the North came away with a 4-0 shutout victory over the host South in the annual contest. The North pitchers combined for 10 scoreless innings, allowing six hits and allowing a baserunner to reach third only twice all game.

Justin James (AMU) and Adam Miller (USCB) garnered the starts for the South and North respectively, moving through the first two innings with ease.

The North plated four runs in the top of the third inning after Dane Stone (STU) took over for James on the mound for the South, giving up a leadoff single to Taylor Mathis (WIU). Mathis would move to second on a wild pitch before advancing to third on Ethan Lovell's (WU) ground ball to Stone. Daniel Mims (SEU) drew a walk and stole second to put runners on second and third with one away. Ty Main (USCB) singled to short, scoring one run, and Hunter Pope (SCAD) laced a double to right center, scoring another run for the North. Billy Glessner collected an RBI when he grounded out to second base, bringing the score to 3-0. Jamison Sweat (SCAD) reached on an error, scoring Pope and finishing the scoring for the inning and the game at 4-0.

Both sides relied on pitching and solid defense to move through the following innings without either team really threatening. The North had two men on with one out in the fifth, but a fouled bunt and a called third strike ended the inning without any further damage.

The South turned a rare 5-4-3-2 triple play as Frankie Arias (ERAU) appeared to have slid under the tag at home, but was called out by the home plat umpire.

The South's best chance to score came in the final inning with runners on first and second with just one out. However, 2010 second team All-Conference performer Phillip Kish (SEU) induced a ground ball double play to end the game and secure the 4-0 victory for the North.

Main finished 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored, while Pope was 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk. Matt Zajac (SCAD) went 2-for-2 for the North.

Six South players recorded a hit while six pitchers saw action compared to seven pitchers for the North.
