WOODBRIDGE, VA (www.potomacnationals.com) - Trey Webb and Brandon Powell have been selected to represent the Potomac Nationals and the Carolina League in the HCA Virginia 2006 Carolina/California League All-Star Game presented by Lewis-Gale Medical Center on June 27 in Salem, Va. Both players will be used as utility infielders for the Carolina League.

The annual contest puts the best of the Carolina and California Leagues against each other with this year's game being played at Lewis-Gale Medical Center Field at Salem Memorial Baseball Stadium, home of the Salem Avalanche.

Webb, a second baseman, is hitting .295 in 57 games played coming into Wednesday's action. He has three home runs and 28 RBI while leading the team in doubles (18), triples (3) and stolen bases (15). He is tied for the team lead in runs scored with 29. The Dallas, Texas, native was selected in the fifth round of the 2003 First Year Player Draft out of Baylor University.

Powell, a third baseman in his first season with the Nationals organization, is hitting .269 while leading the Nationals in home runs with eight, including two against Frederick last Sunday. He is third on the team in RBI with 28. Powell has played in 55 of the 65 games the P-Nats have played so far this season, following play on Tuesday. A native of Florence, SC, Powell was selected from Kansas City in the Minor League Rule-5 Draft last December. He attended Coastal Carolina in Myrtle Beach, SC.

The Nationals will salute their All-Stars later this week in a pre-game ceremony at Pfitzner Stadium.
