ZEBULON, N.C. - The Carolina League recently announced the addition of three new All-Stars to the Carolina League's Northern Division All-Star team, including LHP Tyler Erwin of the Frederick Keys and both LHP Jordan Mills and RHP Ronald Pena of the Potomac Nationals.

The P-Nats will now be represented by a league leading eight players in the upcoming All-Star Classic event. Mills and Pena join fellow Potomac players C Tres Barrera, OF Carter Keiboom, OF Jake Noll, RHP Will Crowe, RHP Tyler Mapes and RHP Sterling Sharp on the Northern Division team.

Erwin is now one of five Frederick Keys to make the Northern Division team. He joins the Carolina League's top hitter in OF Ryan McKenna as well as teammates RHP Cristian Alvarado, LHP Alex Wells and NC State standout OF Preston Palmeiro.
