The Carolina League was a 3-1 winner in the California/Carolina League All-Star Game on June 24.

Wilmington Blue Rocks pitchers Tyler Chambliss and Everett Teaford each pitched one inning of relief, with neither allowing a run. Chambliss is a former Suwannee High star.

In the bottom of the eighth, the Carolina League broke a 1-1 tie with two runs, including a solo home run by Potomac’s Edgar Baez.

A product of Florida State University, Chambliss has emerged as Wilmington’s bullpen anchor. He is 2-0 with a 3.03 ERA in 19 relief appearances and leads the Blue Rocks staff with nine saves, ranking him fourth among league hurlers. Chambliss, who split time between Low-A Burlington and Wilmington in 2007, is the lone returning Blue Rock to be chosen for the Carolina League squad this season. He went 5-3 with two saves a 4.35 ERA in 17 games for the Rocks last year. Prior to his promotion, Chambliss was a Midwest League All-Star for the Bees.

This year marks the 12th installment of the exhibition clash between the two Advanced Class-A leagues. The Carolina League leads the series, 5-4. Two games have ended in ties since the series’ inception in 1996.
