Cust followed with an RBI single. The other run came when Hank Blalock of the host Oklahoma RedHawks grounded into a double play.
Cust homered to left-center in the eighth inning off Lee Gardner of the Durham Bulls.
The PCL also scored in the seventh when Mendy Lopez of the Nashville Sounds doubled and scored on a single by Edwards Guzman of the Fresno Grizzlies.
Oklahoma right-hander Aaron Myette was named the game's outstanding pitcher. He started the game for the PCL and struck out the side.
The victory went to Shane Nance of Las Vegas, who pitched the sixth inning. The PCL used nine pitchers, tying a Triple-A All-Star game record set by both teams in the 2000 game.
