NEW CARLISLE- For the sixth consecutive year, Migley Field will host the Old Republic Wiffle
Ball League All-Star Game. The decision was made by the league owners, with Migley
beating out the Grassy Knoll, 7-3. The home of the New Carlisle Newts has been the site of
every All-Star Game since the league's inception in 2007.

the National League will play host to the stars of the American League, with home-field

The American League team will be managed by Andy Ellam of the defending champion South
Bend Sour Wowers. Ellam replaced Matt Serge, who has limited availability this season.
Tony Koch of the Wills Township Federalists will manage the National League club. Koch
replaced Shane Anderson, who now plays in the American League for the Maple City Magic.
The 6th annual ORWBL Home Run Derby, scheduled for 7:00pm ET, will precede the All-Star
Game. Each team will have the opportunity to be represented in the Home Run Derby.
