The Stars grabbed a 2-0 lead after the first inning before putting the game away with a five-run sixth inning. Kyle Starkey was the only Stars' batter to collect more than one hit in the game as he had two of his team's eight base knocks including a double. Both Chris Bingham and Kyle Lewis drove in a pair of runs.
Starkey did not slow down in the second game collecting three more hits, driving in one and scoring a run. All three of Starkey's hits went for extra bases with a pair of doubles and a triple.
Aaron Corbett got the win for Post 320 allowing three hits - Sheridan's only hits in the game - over three innings and striking out one. Bryan Olsen worked the next two innings and struck out five batters.
