Baltimore Orioles LHP George Sherrill became the first Northwoods League alumnus to appear in a Major League Baseball All-Star Game Tuesday when he entered the game with two outs in the top of the 12th inning. He struck out San Diego 1B Adrian Gonzalez to end the inning.

He returned to the mound and pitched a scoreless 13th and 14th inning. The American League eventually won the game 4-3 in 15 innings.

Sherrill pitched for the Northwoods League’s now defunct Kenosha Kroakers in 1997 and 1998.
