RIVERSIDE, Calif. - The SCCBL announced the selections for all-league on Sunday, with 32 players making up two teams.  Seven SoCal Bombers were named to the teams with four being named to First Team and three named to Second Team.

Chris Palmer, Jimmy Smith, Chris Sandberg and Cody White were all named First Team All-SCCBL, and Joey Magro, Conner Shepherd and Andrew Miner were named Second Team.

Palmer led the Bombers at the plate in the regular season with a .474 batting average, primarily in the leadoff spot.  He also led the team with a .535 on-base percentage and his 36 hits ranked second on the team. 

Smith gave the Bombers a lot of power at the plate, leading the team with five home runs this summer.  Of his 28 hits, more than half went for extra bases as Smith legged out nine doubles and a triple.  His .711 slugging percentage was the highest on the team.

Sandberg was a huge asset behind the plate this summer for the Bombers, catching nine runners attempting to steal during the regular season and then three in the first game of the SCCBL playoffs.  He recorded 24 hits, including two home runs, and knocked in 19 runs.

Leading the Bombers from the mound, White led the pitching staff with 26 strikeouts in his 27 innings pitched.  His 3.00 ERA was the best among Bomber starters and he did his part at the plate with three home runs and 14 RBI.  He was the only pitcher with a complete game win this year over the Palm Springs Power, handing them one of only three losses on the season.  He struck out a season-high nine batters in the game.

Magro was a consistent producer at the plate for the Bombers, leading the team with 39 hits in the regular season.  He had a .361 batting average and was second on the team with 21 RBI.  He was key defensively as well, seeing time all around the infield as well as the outfield.

Shepherd, who signed his letter of intent with TCU this summer, knocked in a team-leading 25 runs for the Bombers.  He logged 28 hits including 13 doubles and three home runs for a .588 slugging percentage.  Shepherd saw a lot of time at the infield corners as well as in the outfield and as a designated hitter.

Miner was a strong arm out of the bullpen for the Bombers this season, appearing in nine games with a total of 15 innings on the mound.  He led the team with a 1.80 ERA and logged 18 strikeouts.  Miner allowed just three runs all season.
