NEWS DIGEST, JULY 3

Southern League all-stars have S.C. flavor
At least four players with connections to South Carolina have been selected to play in the Southern League All-Star Game in Jacksonville July 17. All four are on the South Division.

Former Clemson second baseman Mike Freeman of Mobile, ex-USC pitcher Sam Dyson of  Jacksonville, ex-Furman and Christ Church pitcher Jay Jackson of Jacksonville and former Francis Marion outfielder Justin Greene of Mobile  are on the squad.

Creel honored
Coastal Carolina's Justin Creel is among the student-athletes selected to receive NCAA postgraduate scholarships totaling $7,500.

The NCAA announces honorees after the fall, winter and spring sports seasons. I have been unable to find a complete list for the spring honorees, so other state baseball players may be among the honorees.
