Local Connections Highlight GLSCL All-Star Game The Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League’s best come to town tonight for the league all-star game at Western Hills High School. Playing host for the rest of the league will be the first place Cincinnati Steam, who, at 21-6, will be represented by seven players.
