Four baseball standouts from Orange County have been selected for the Aflac All-American High School Baseball Classic on Aug. 15 at PETCO Park in San Diego.
Pitcher Henry Owens from Huntington Beach Edison, shortstop Christian Lopes from Edison, outfielder Travis Harrison from Tustin and catcher Austin Hedges from San Juan Capistrano JSerra will represent the West team in the annual all-star game matching top seniors in the nation.
Owens, one of the top pro prospects for 2011, has been in dominating form this week at the USA Baseball 18U Trials in Cary, N.C. He retired nine of the last 10 batters he faced in a 1-0 victory.
