On July 26, the All Star game between the Door County League (DCL), and the Shoreland League was played in Baileys Harbor. It was a defensive game, and runs were hard to come by. But the DCL had built up a 2-0 lead.

The Shoreland Team came back to tie the game. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Caleb Cornell of the Washington Island Islanders got on base with a base hit, stole second, and advanced to third on a sacrifice. Then the speedster went for it, stealing home and winning the game for the DCL.

The Shoreland League includes teams from Algoma, Branch, Casco, Kewaunee, Denmark, Two Rivers, Little Chute, Manitowoc and Sheboygan.
