Stars to Shine in Lakewood

The Caps and Gens will be well represented at this year's ACBL All-Star game. Eight more Gens and three more Caps were named to the Wolff Division squad for the July 22 event in Lakewood.

Representing the LLC in this year's ACBL All-Star bash: Top Row (L-R) Chase Conklin, Danny Melnick, Greg Delgado; Middle Row (L-R) Jake Kmiec, Giuseppe Arcuri, Mark McNelly; Bottom Row (L-R) Kenny Tagliareni, Ryan Murphy, Lorenzo Repack.

The 2021 Atlantic College Baseball League All-Star game will have a very Trenton look to it as 11 members of the Generals and Capitals were added to the six pitchers already named to the Wolff Division squad.

Ryan Murphy (Rowan), Greg Delgado (Nova Southeastern), Lorenzo Repack (Monmouth), Giuseppe Arcuri (St. Leo's), Chase Conklin (Richmond), Ben Petrone (Lafayette), Dan Melnick (Quinnipiac), and Mark McNelly will represent the Generals. McNelly played for New Mexico State last season but is currently in the transfer portal.

Chris Reeder (TCNJ), Kenny Tagliareni (Dickinson), and Jake Kmiec (Mercer County) have been selected to represent the Capitals as position players.

This year's all-star game will be held at FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood with first pitch slated for 6 pm on July 22. The game will be streamed live on our Youtube channel, with Conklin and Murphy running an Instagram takeover for All-Star Thursday. Our John Colavita will be joined by Jersey's Eli Fishman as the broadcast team and will head up a package that includes on-field interviews, features, and more.

Tagliareni leads the ACBL with 12 stolen bases, while Reeder has been a steadying influence, and the speedy Kmiec has had his batting average over .400 most of the season.

McNelly is among the league leaders in RBIs and is second in extra base hits. Delgado leads the Gens in batting average, Murphy has been an imposing threat in the lineup all season, Conklin and Petrone have impressed up the middle, along with Arcuri, and Melnick has been a steadying influence behind the plate. Repack has been a spark at the top of Trenton's lineup and showed some long ball power last weekend with his first HR of the season.
