ELMIRA, N.Y. – Mohawk Valley’s Cullen Wacker (Auburn) went 3-for-5 with three RBI and three runs scored as the East rallied to defeat the West, 7-4, in the inaugural Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League All-Star Game on Monday night at Dunn Field. The comeback for the PGCBL East began in the top of the sixth inning with the West leading 4-1. Cullen Wacker smacked a lead-off single and then advanced to third on a double by Glens Falls’ Josh Anderson (Yavapai). Glens Falls’ David Olson (Tacoma C.C.) plated Wacker with a ground out to the left side and Daniel Klein (Kansas State) of Glens Falls followed with a triple into deep center field that scored Golden Eagles’ teammate Josh Anderson. The East pulled even at four in the eighth inning again with the help of Wacker. The Mohawk Valley all-star doubled to begin the eighth and advanced to third on a Josh Anderson base hit. Two batters later, Daniel Klein singled through the left side to bring home Wacker with the game-tying run. The contest remained tied at four into the top of the ninth inning. Albany’s Anthony Turgeon (Central Conn. State) drew a one-out walk and moved to second on a single by Dutchmen teammate Brandon Trinkwon (UC Santa Barbara). Wacker, who won the Home Run Derby earlier in the evening, followed with a high-arcing blast over the right-field fence to give the East a 7-4 advantage. Amsterdam’s Abram Williams (Radford) retired all three men he faced in the bottom of the ninth to seal the victory for the East. The PGCBL East totaled seven runs on 12 hits. Glens Falls’ Daniel Klein, who entered the game in the bottom of the fifth inning, went 2-for-2 with two RBI.

Justin Lamborn, playing in front of the home fans, lashed an RBI double into the right-field corner to plate Gaylord with the first run in PGCBL All-Star history. Lamborn moved to third on a ground out and then came sprinting home on a wild pitch to give the West a 2-0 lead. Glens Falls’ David Olson swatted a solo home run off of the light tower in left field to put the East on the scoreboard. However, the West responded with a home run of its’ own. Kyle Attl singled to start the bottom of the third. The next batter, Erick Gaylord, clubbed a two-run belt over the left-center field fence.
