He has 17 multi-hit games in 40 total, and he has had three or more hits in six contests, including a five-hit outburst on June 22. He is tied for the team lead with three home runs, as well.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"line-height: 1.6em\">Salters didn&rsquo;t arrive to Eau Claire until June 13, but his presence was quickly felt. In his sixth game with the team, he belted a walk-off, two-run home run to beat the St. Cloud Rox on June 20.&nbsp; A recent hot stretch propelled him to one of the league&rsquo;s best hitters, as the Dallas Baptist catcher has hit safely in 13 of his last 14 contests. He&rsquo;s raised his average from .222 on June 22 all the way up to .310, where it is right now. His 18 RBI are tied for third on the team despite him playing in just 24 games.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"line-height: 1.6em\">All-Star festivities kick off with a banquet Monday night Ozaukee County Fair Grounds in the Columbia St. Mary&rsquo;s Center at 5:00 p.m. The featured speaker will be the Commissioner of Baseball, Allan H. &ldquo;Bud&rdquo; Selig. In addition to Commissioner Selig, honorary managers, Jim Gantner and Robin Yount will introduce the players. Live entertainment will follow the program. Tickets for the All-Star Banquet are $60 per person and can be purchased by calling the Lakeshore Chinooks offices at 262-618-4659.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"line-height: 1.6em\">On game day, Tuesday, July 22, the gates will open at Kapco Park at 3:30 p.m. Players will rotate through the VIP Photography Autograph Zone until 5:30 p.m. The Home Run Challenge will begin at 4:45 p.m. and feature a unique format. Nine players from each division will represent the North and South teams. Each player will receive six outs in their half of the inning and a nine inning competition will take place. The team with the most home runs hit after the nine-inning exhibition will be declared the winner.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/calendar\/ical\/4kqfdtvhnb8acokfk6vd7vlon0%40group.calendar.google.com\/public\/basic.ics\">Express Downloadable Calendar<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<em style=\"line-height: 1.6em\">The Eau Claire Express are a member of the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players, the Northwoods League.
