Gwinnett Stripers outfielder Travis Demeritte and pitcher Ben Rowen have been selected to the 2019 Triple-A All-Star Game.

The International League All-Stars will face the Pacific Coast League All-Stars at 9 p.m. Wednesday, July 10, at Southwest University Park in El Paso, Texas. The game will be streamed on MiLB.TV.

Demeritte, 24, has reached base safely in 64 of 69 games with Gwinnett. He is batting a team-best .301 (74-for-246) with 23 doubles, two triples, 15 home runs, 48 runs, 57 RBIs, and four stolen bases.

It is Demeritte’s first time as an IL All-Star selection. He was an All-Star in the Advanced-A California League in 2016 and the Double-A Southern League in 2017.

Rowen, 30, is 4-3 with a 3.48 ERA (21 ER in 54.1 IP) in 19 games with Gwinnett this season, including the first five starts of his professional career. It is Rowen’s second IL All-Star appearance. He was a 2016 selection with the Buffalo Bisons.
