SAVANNAH, Ga. â Three Savannah Sand Gnats have been chosen to represent the South Atlantic League Southern Division in the SAL All-Star Game June 28 at Lake Olmstead Stadium in Augusta, Ga. The All Stars were elected by team media relations personnel, media members and managers and coaches.
Right fielder Edgardo Baez (.266 AVG., 6 HR, 31 RBI, 7 SB) will serve as a utility outfielder for the SAL Southern Division squad. Baez has played in 55 games for the Gnats in 2005, toiling in right field for 54 of those contests. He was a fourth round pick of the Montreal Expos in 2003 and hit .178, 5 HR, 29 RBI for Savannah in 2004.
Relief pitcher Brett Campbell (2-0, 12 SV, 0.91 ERA) has been chosen as one of the team's ten pitchers. Campbell leads the Gnats staff in appearances (22), saves and ERA.
