Locals in Showcase

Five seniors who helped lead the Corona del Mar High baseball team to

the Pacific Coast League championship will play today in the South

County Showcase of Players, set for 1 p.m. at Windrow Park.

Keith Long, a four-year starter at shortstop who competed for the

victorious South in Monday’s Orange County All-Star Game, will be

joined by teammates Griffin Dunzer, Nick Karpe, Nick Rhodes and Ryan

Rhodes on the PCL team that will play against seniors from the Sea

View League, including Newport Harbor’s R.J. Muller, at 1 p.m.

Long was a first-team All-PCL choice this spring, while Karpe, a

designated hitter, was a second-team all-league choice.

Nick Rhodes and Dunzer are pitchers, while Ryan Rhodes is an

outfielder.

Muller played third base this spring for the Sailors.

CdM head man John Emme is one of the coaches for the PCL squad,

while Newport Harbor’s Joel Desguin will be a coach for the Sea View

unit.

After the game, an eight-player home run derby will take place.

Two players from each league, including the Century and South Coast,

will compete in the home run derby.
