The 2047 SIMBL All-Star Game hosted this season by Saint Petersburg GM Brandon Popper in his sold-out Skull Rock Stadium had plenty of offensive fireworks and excitement as the Union League came back in the 9th inning for a 8-6 victory over the rival Syndicate League.

The UL closed the all-time series gap to 24-19 in which the SL leads and snapped a two-game losing streak and have won five of the last seven SIMBL Midsummer Classics.  The SL won 5-2 last season in Montreal, Canada with Westbury CF Shawn Dailey winning game MVP honors in a losing cause.

Down 7-5 with two outs in the top of the 9th inning, Ann Arbor's Franklyn Borba hit a three-run home run off one of the SIMBL's top relievers in Indianapolis' Victor Kennedy.

New York's Ken Hunter then held down the fort in the bottom of the 9th inning to earn the save and give the UL the stunning comeback victory.

The game featured a SIMBL All-Star Game record six home runs that contributed to several lead changes.  Pittsburgh's Richard Millsaps, Montreal's Pedro Cendejas Jr., Calgary's Jose Antonio Gonzalez, Chicago's Manuel Hernandez and Saint Petersburg's Chris Covington added to Borba's game-winning blast with all having hit home runs in the game.

The UL struck first in the top of first inning when Montreal's Pedro Cendejas hit a lead-off home run off AC Kansas City's SL starter Leroy Burbach who was starting for Indianapolis' voted SL starter Javier Hernandez who was one of several pitchers on both teams that were tired and not rested from his previous start.

The SL tied the score in the bottom of the third when Indianapolis' Manuel Perez doubled off Toronto's Esteban Martinez and Asheville's Vicente Romero singled him in to tie the score at 1-1.

Calgary's Jose Antonio Gonzalez homered off of Hawaii's Michael Martin to give the UL a 2-1 lead in the top of the fifth inning.

The SL struck back in the bottom of the sixth inning when Rochester's Kei Morita doubled off Calgary's Rusty Austin scoring AC Kansas City's Angel Vasquez who walked prior. The next batter, Chicago's Manuel Hernandez, then clubbed a two-run homer off Austin to give the SL a 4-2 lead.

The UL crept back in the top of eighth inning when Pittsburgh's Richard Millsaps hit a solo blast off of Rochester's Keith Barton to close the UL deficit to 4-3.

In the bottom of the eighth, the SL struck and tried to open up the game and put it away.  

After Las Vegas' Joe Goans singled, Saint Petersburg's Chris Covington gave the home crowd Admirals fans delight with a two-run homer off of Oregon's Luke Smith to give the SL a 6-3 lead.

That set up for an exciting ninth inning when the UL scored five runs on three hits.

After Calgary catcher Hank Boone singled in Cleveland's Daniel Sarachaga off of the home crowd's Vincent Billings to make it 6-4, Bend's Dylan Edwards scored Toronto's Jonathan Kloss on a sacrifice fly to make it 6-5 and closed the SL's lead to one run.  

The SL then turned to arguably the SIMBL's best reliever in Indianapolis' Victor Kennedy to extinguish the threat and to save the game.

With two outs and on a 0-1 pitch, Ann Arbor's Franklyn Borba then cleared the wall for a three-run home run to give the UL a 8-6 lead.  The home run was only the third given up in 59.2 innings by Kennedy who leads the SIMBL with a blistering 0.45 ERA.

New York closer Ken Hunter then retired the SL in the bottom of the ninth inning to earn the save and gave the UL their stunning come from behind victory.

AC Kansas City's Leroy Burbach, who was voted last season's All-Star Game starter, won last season's SL Hurler Of The Year Award and started this season in place of Indianapolis tired voted starter Javier Hernandez, gave the SIMBL their version of Carl Hubbell's historic five consecutive strikeouts of baseball Hall Of Famers Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin in the 1934 All-Star Game when he started the game with five consecutive sit downs of an impressive group of five of Ann Arbor's Tyler Conway, New York's David Wayne, Ann Arbor's Manuel Ayala, Bristol's Ty Williams and New York's Mike Lunder through the game's first two innings.
