A standing-room only crowd was on hand Friday night at Dent's Jake Wolford Field to see the HI-10/Countryside League's All-Stars beat the best the Lake and Pine League had to offer, 5-3.

Fergus Falls' Mic Johnson was the difference maker, hitting a solo homer in the fourth and driving in two more in the fifth with a double. Johnson then took the mound in the sixth and picked up the win for the HI-10/Countryside team.

Local players on the HI-10/Countryside team included: Perham's Kevin Feldt (Tyler Sjolie and Mike WInjum weren't able to play due to injury); NY Mills' Tony Meech, Chad Keskitalo and Darin Johnson; Bluffton's Dustin Geiser, Kyle Dykhoff and Brent Weller; Dent's Brock Collins, Matt Richter and Jason Hofmann; and Troy Schrupp, Jake Bachmann and Kerry Lockrem of Vergas.
