St. Cloud, MN - The Northwoods League announced Sunday morning that three members of the St. Cloud Rox were selected for Northwoods League Postseason honors.

Del Bonta-Smith, who was also named a Northwoods League All-Star and took part in the Major League Dreams Showcase this season, has been dominant out of the bullpen for St. Cloud this season. In 21 appearances, he has recorded an ERA of 0.68 along with three wins and a team-high eight saves in 26.1 innings of work. He has given up just two earned runs and six walks while recording 45 strikeouts.
Johnson, who also played in the Major League Dreams Showcase this season, appeared in 14 games and tallied 60 innings of work on the mound. With an ERA of 1.80, he has a perfect 5-0 record this summer. He has given up just 12 earned runs and has recorded 57 strikeouts.
Hughes is wrapping up his first season in St. Cloud as the play-by-play announcer. A multimedia journalism major, Hughes will enter his sophomore year at Virginia Tech in the fall. The Play-by-Play Announcer of the Year award was voted on by Hughes' peers throughout the Northwoods League.
