Some more All-Star news for you: Whiting, Indiana is hosting the 2011 Midwest Collegiate League All-Star Game at Oil City Stadium at Standard Diamonds Park next week on July 13, with Ron Kittle serving as master of ceremonies.
The game starts at 7:05 p.m., preceded by a scout evaluation and workout by the MCL All-Star Players the day before.
