John West earned the MVP for the West All-Stars Saturday night after pitching six scoreless innings in relief.  West entered the game after the second inning and held the East squad down as the West All-Stars attempted to rebound from an 8-0 deficit.  Although the comeback fell short John's contributions to the West squad were deserving of the MVP.  Great job John!!!!!
