Inland Empire 66ers News Release


San Bernardino, CA - Inland Empire Right-Hander Nathan Eovaldi will represent the 66ers, Class 'A' Partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, at the California-Carolina League All-Star Game Wednesday, June 22nd in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

The 23-man All-Star roster was selected by California League President Charlie Blaney, based on votes from the league's managers, coaches, radio broadcasters and newspaper beat writers. The remainder of the rosters can be viewed on the California League's official website via www.milb.com.
