MOBILE, AL - Mobile BayBears infielder/outfielder Tom Belza and former BayBears third baseman Jake Lamb were named to the 2014 Southern League Postseason All-Star team, announced by the league office on Friday night.
The announced team was voted upon by the league's field managers, radio broadcasters and print media.

Batting primarily at the top of the lineup each game, the former Oklahoma State Cowboy has a team-high 36 multi-hit games including seven games with at least three hits.
Lamb, who was promoted to Triple-A Reno to start the month of August and then made his Major League Debut with the Diamondbacks a week later, was named to the post-season All-Start team while also being named the Southern Leagues' Most Valuable Player. In 103 games with Mobile, the Seattle, Washington native batted .318 (119-for-374) with 14 homers and 79 RBI before the time of his promotion.
The BayBears continue their five game series with Jacksonville for the final four games of the regular season before returning to Hank Aaron Stadium on September 4, for the start of the 2014 Southern League Playoffs.
