The American Division All Stars used one explosive inning and a dominant four‑man pitching performance to defeat the National Division All Stars 6–1 in the 2026 Central Ohio MABL All‑Star Game on Saturday night.
Second Inning Breakthrough
The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the 2nd, when the American Division lineup delivered the decisive blow. They pushed across six runs in the inning, capitalizing on three hits, three walks, and a hit‑by‑pitch to build a lead they would never relinquish. Patient at‑bats and steady pressure created traffic on the bases, and timely contact turned it into the game’s only crooked number.
Brafford Sets the Tone Early
American Division starter Corey Brafford (Bison) set the tone with a commanding performance. Brafford threw four no‑hit innings, faced the minimum 12 batters, and struck out five. His only baserunner — a first‑inning walk — was erased on a crisp 5‑4‑3 double play, keeping the National Division off the bases entirely through four.
Blazers Arms Carry the Middle Innings
In the 5th, Aiden Castile (Blazers) took over and continued the dominance. Castile kept the no‑hit bid alive into the 7th before a leadoff single broke it up. He induced a groundout for the first out, then allowed a double that brought in the next arm.
Jeff Golding (Blazers) entered to finish the 7th and followed with a hitless, scoreless 8th inning, keeping the National lineup off balance and preventing any momentum shift.
Feasel Finishes Perfectly
Blazers right‑hander Nick Feasel closed the door with a perfect 9th inning, striking out two and sealing the American Division’s 6–1 victory.
National Division Limited Offensively
The National Division did not record a hit until the 7th inning and managed only a single late run. The early deficit, combined with the American Division’s relentless pitching, prevented any sustained rally.
American All Stars 6-5-0
National All Stars 1-2-0

A game played is as simple as an out on defense, pinch run, pinch hit, etc. It is not difficult to get 10 games played, players simply have to be at the game(s) to "play".
