A little late, but diving right in…

6:44 – It’s the bottom of the third. Nick Cassavecchia is pitching for the East. I have no idea what the score is. I’ve been listening online for three minutes and they haven’t told me.

6:49 – Reese Havens singles with two outs, putting runners on first and third. Apparently, this is the first scoring threat so it must still be 0-0.

6:51 – Shane Peterson grounds out to end the inning. After three, 0-0.

6:52 – They’re pre-empting A Prairie Home Companion for this.

6:53 – Strikeout artist Christian Friedrich is on for the West.

6:55 – Crowd estimated at 5,000.

6:57 – Brewster’s Yonder Alonso gets the first hit of the night for the East . . . then scores from first on a double by Gordon Beckham

7:00 – Beckham trots home on a wild pitch . . . he would have come home anyway as Dennis Raben cranks a solo home run, making it 3-0

7:06 – Friedrich leaves after getting the second out of the inning on a strikeout . . . still 3-0 . . . T.J. Hose into the game

7:16 – The East goes to another relief pitcher instead of a starter as Orlean’s Will Atwood comes on

7:28 – Still 3-1. Kyle Gibson into the game for the West. Also, they’re saying Buster Posey started the game at catcher. Wasn’t Jason Castro supposed to start?

7:35 – This game is moving . . . mid-fifth, still 3-1

7:36 – Hyannis’ James Darnell hits a home run off Evan Crawford, making it 3-2

8:08 – Still 3-2 . . . The only thing that’s happened is more great pitching

8:24 – Heading to the ninth . . . Luke Burnett on for the West, trying to keep it a one-run game

8:39 – One out in the bottom of the ninth . . . Ryan Perry is in to close it out for the East

8:41 – Dan Brewer keeps the West alive with a base hit . . . That brings up Ben Guez, who already has two hits

8:44 – Perry gets Guez on a check-swing third strike . . . that’s the ballgame
