Brainerd Lakes Area - Three members of the 2011 Brainerd Lakes Area Lunkers have been named to the Northwoods League Postseason All-Star Team, capping off the best overall season in Lunkers franchise history.

Jason Forjet, the right-handed pitcher from Florida Gulf Coast University, is rewarded for an outstanding summer with a spot on the Postseason All-Star Team. Forjet finished with only a (2-1) record, but he posted a stellar 1.95 ERA along with 64 strikeouts in just over 55 innings. He also held opponents to a .214 batting average.

Steven Brault also represents the Lunkers on the Postseason All-Star Team. Brault led the Lunkers in batting average nearly wire-to-wire, hitting .330 with 2 home runs and 31 RBIs. The freshman from Regis also posted a 1.65 ERA five appearances on the mound this season.

Lunker third baseman Dan Olinger, the Brainerd Lakes Area native, was also named to the Northwoods League Postseason All-Star Team. The redshirt freshman from Minnesota was also the "Star of Stars" at this year's All-Star Game. Entering the final game of the season, Olinger was hitting .286 with 3 home runs and 44 RBIs. His 44 RBIs is a Lunkers franchise record. Olinger started in all 69 games this season.

"These three were fantastic all season long and I am very proud to see them make the Postseason All-Star team," said Lunkers General Manager Dustin Anaas. "Our team was very competitive in the first half and these three were a big reason why. It was a great to see them don the Lunkers uniform this summer."

The Lunkers wrap up the home schedule Sunday, August 14 against the St. Cloud River Bats. First pitch is scheduled for 6:05. It is Fan Appreciation night at the ballpark. The Lunkers will also team with the Susan G. Komen foundation to raise money for breast cancer research.
