RALEIGH, N.C. - Pratt Maynard has become the second Wolfpack baseball player this week to earn an All-Star nod when the Coastal Plain League announced the American team roster for their 2009 All-Star Game on Wednesday. Maynard will be among eight Forest City Owls to appear in the annual mid-season classic, which will take place on Tuesday, July 21 at Buck Hardee Field in Wilmington, NC. Harold Riggins earned All-Star honors earlier in the week with the Northwoods League.
Maynard is hitting .346 (46-for-133) with 13 doubles, four home runs, and 43 RBIs in 38 games for the 35-5 Owls.
Maynard is among the league leaders in several offensive categories. He is first in runs scored (39), RBIs (34), and walks (29), second in doubles (11), third in hits (46), fourth in total bases (71), and sixth in batting average (.346).
Maynard hit .261 (49-for-188) with 12 doubles, six home runs, and 40 RBIs in 51 games for the Wolfpack in 2009.
