On the night before the All-Star Game, NALB hosted its first Home Run Challenge. In front of a raucous crowd, it provided great drama. Outlasting the competition was John Edwards. The Nashville Firecats second baseman knocked off Aramis Jáquez in the final round by a score of 10-9.

On July 7 was the NALB Prospects game, which gathers together the league's top prospects to perform before an energetic crowd. Regardless of the outcome, many fans just want to see potential future phenoms in action. The League 1 Future All-Stars defeated the League 2 Future All-Stars. Catcher Roberto Cabrera earned the game's MVP award with a 3 for 3 effort at the plate. Cabrera currently plays for Vails Gate Conquest, the AAA affiliate of the Vancouver Wild.
