GLEN HEAD, N.Y. - Nyenta -- Atlanta first baseman Matt Olson laced a one-out single, plating Cincinnati's Elly De La Cruz with the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning in his hometown stadium, Truist Park, to lift the National League to a 3-2 triumph over the American League in a simulation of the All-Star Game via Strat-O-Matic (@strat-o-matic), the market leader in sports simulations.

In the simulation, the A.L. scored first on a third-inning leadoff home run by Tampa Bay third baseman Junior Caminero. The N.L. answered with two in the bottom of the fourth, with Los Angeles catcher Will Smith and Chicago outfielder Kyle Tucker plating runs with consecutive RBI hits. After the Junior Circuit tied it in the fifth on Caminero's second solo homer of the game, the game remained even until Olson's game-winner off Boston's Aroldis Chapman brought in automatic runner De La Cruz.

San Diego reliever Jason Adam earned the win with a scoreless 10th inning, aided when Colorado catcher Hunter Goodman threw out automatic runner Jonathan Aranda of Tampa Bay attempting to steal third with one out. Adam then fanned Toronto catcher Alejandro Kirk to keep the game tied and set up Olson's heroics in the bottom of the frame.

About Strat-O-Matic
Strat-O-Matic was invented by 11-year-old Hal Richman in his bedroom in Great Neck, N.Y. in 1948 as a result of his frustration with the statistical randomness of other baseball board games. He discovered that the statistical predictability of dice would give his game the realism he craved. Over the next decade, he perfected the game at summer camp and then as a student at Bucknell University. After producing All-Star sets in 1961 and '62, he parlayed a $5,000 loan from his father (and made a deal that if it didn't work out he would work for his father's insurance company) into the original 1962 Strat-O-Matic Baseball season game. Needless to say, Hal never had to take a job with his father.
