JOBE NAMED 2008 NWL ALL-STAR

AUGUST 14, 2008

(ROCHESTER, MN) The Northwoods League announced its 2008 Postseason All-Star Team on Monday and Duluth Huskies First Baseman Tim Jobe was named to the squad.

The Florida International University recruit was second in the Northwoods League in batting and second in home runs with 9, no easy feat in the  roomy confines of Wade Stadium. Tim ended the season batting .338 which sets a Duluth Huskies single season record, and was one run short of Joey Bonadonna's single season runs scored record with 40 (record 41).

In addition to the 25 players that were selected to the honorary team, Mankato catcher Carlos Ramirez was named as the Most Valuable Player as voted by the League’s coaches and members of the media. Alexandria, Mankato, Rochester, and St. Cloud, all from the North Division, led all teams with three players selected. Alexandria outfielder Josh UpChurch was named as a postseason all-star for his second consecutive season.
