Victoria Seals News Release
Victoria, BC - The Victoria Seals are proud to have two players representing the Golden Baseball League at the 2010 International Minor League All-Star Game tonight. Catcher Josh Arhart and third basemen Brian Rios will join the top talent in the league at Hi Corbett Field as the Golden Baseball League squares off against the best from the Northern League.
The first pitch is set for tonight at 7:00 p.m. (PT) from Tucson, Arizona and will be available online via video webcast at http://www.justin.tv/chicooutlawsbaseball.
Josh Arhart, a second-year Seal, has been elected to represent Victoria behind home plate as a catcher for the Golden Baseball League team. The Tualatin, Oregon native currently sits second on the team with .357 batting average while posting a club-leading 9 home runs and 31 runs batted in. Arhart, who makes up part of the Seals management staff with Bench Coach duties, will appear in the All-Star Game for a second consecutive year after representing Victoria at the 2008 contest in St. George, Utah.
Brian Rios, a Santa Ana, California product, will represent Victoria at third base for the Golden Baseball League team. Sitting atop the Seals batting statistics with a .372 batting average, the former Detroit Tigers prospect earns his first All-Star nod in his third year at the GBL level. Posting a .383 batting average in the month of June, despite a 10-game losing skid from the Seals, Rios has been a key defensive figure on third base while providing 18 runs batted in and another 21 scored this season.
