Both Christian and Gorman were chosen as starters. Richardson plans on sitting in the stands, for a change. The Steelheads were pleased with the selections, according to Richardson. There's a couple other guys that we think should have been on there as well, but you have to look at the size of the league and the number of teams. The Chico Heat, which leads the WBL with a 24-9 record and will play host to the game, grabbed the lion's share of selections with nine players on the North squad.
Feather River has just two players on the North squad.
Christian received more votes than any North position player, despite the fact that he has missed 12 of the team's 33 games with injuries. He is third in the WBL in batting at .375, and has driven in 23 runs in just 21 games. He is third in the WBL with a .625 slugging percentage. Vopata, who was named to the team as a reserve infielders, has been hot lately. He also has given up just eight walks in 42 innings, and has 30 strikeouts.
