All Star Game Re-Cap

The first score of the game is in the top of the 3rd inning. Johnny Bench singles and the lineup turns over for Ty Cobb, who doubles Bench home. The EL has a 1-0 lead.
Tom Seaver comes into the game for the EL in the bottom of the third. He gives up 2 singles right away and then a run scores on a wild pitch. He limits the damage to that 1 run and we are tied after 3.
Koufax comes in for the WL in the 5th and gives up a 2 out triple to Ty Cobb. Nap Lajoie follows it up with a double and the EL leads 2-1. Babe Ruth makes it 3-1 with a double of his own.
In the 6th, Honus Wagner singles with 1 out and Mike Schmitt hits an RBI double to give the EL a 4-1 lead.
No more scoring until the bottom of the 8th. WL Catcher Silbrand Abbeel hits a solo shot with one out to make it 4-2 EL.
The EL do not allow another hit though and they take the first All-Star game, 4-2. Nap Lajoie goes 2 for 5 with an RBI and a run scored to earn MVP honors.
