MACON, Georgia – (41NBC/WMGT) – With the Coastal Plain League’s annual All-Star game next week, three Macon Bacon players have shined enough to catch the attention of the CPL to make the CPL Western All Star team.

Left handed pitchers Andrew Elkhill and Jagger Iovinelli have made the CPL All-Star team after posting an ERA of 3.8 and 4.35 respectively, while they both sit in the top five on the team with strikeouts.

Catcher David Stokely leads the team in batting average with .434, while he sits in second place on the team in hits (23) and RBI’s (17).

The 24th annual summer classic CPL All-Star game will take place at McNair Field in Forest City, North Carolina on July 7 & 8.

The players were voted upon within their division by CPL head coaches, front office staff, broadcasters and local media representatives from each market. Since the game is being played in the Forest City Owls’ home ballpark, the West CPL All-Stars will be the home team while the East CPL All-Stars will serve as the visitors.

The East All-Stars will be coached by Peninsula head coach Hank Morgan and Forest City’s DJ Russ (Wake Tech) will take the helm of the West All-Stars. Both skippers guided their clubs to the First Half Championships in the East and West Divisions respectively. Morgan will be assisted by Brian Rountree (Holly Springs) and Matt Mitchell (Peninsula), while Russ will be assisted by Craig McAndrews (Boone) and Connery O’Donnell (Forest City).
