Several CornBelters contributed to the West’s 11-4 win in the Frontier League All-Star Game at Florence, Kentucky. Santiago Chirino was 2-for-2 with a walk and a run batted in, Aaron Dudley registered a sacrifice fly RBI and Nolan Meadows was 1-for-2 at the plate. Dylan Kelly was 0-for-2. Mike Schweiss gave up two hits and walked one with one strikeout in one shutout inning, the second, while Francisco Carillo threw two innings, giving up one hit and one run but striking out four without a walk. The Belters are back in action tomorrow night in the south suburbs of Chicago for a weekend series at the Windy City ThunderBolts, then return home Tuesday for a three-game series against Schaumburg.
