Rockford, Illinois-Jake Smolinski got some much needed good news Friday.  He was selected to play in the Southern League All-Star game later this month in Tennessee.

Smolinski plays outfield for the Jacksonville, Florida Suns...the AA team of the Florida Marlins.  Smolinski's .298 batting average ranks sixth in the Southern League.

Smolinski is currently out of action though after suffering a concussion last Friday when he crashed into the outfield fence trying to make a catch.

Smolinski is a graduate of Boylan High School.
