Hot Tot third baseman, Tyler Arnold, will be swinging for the Great Plains division on Tuesday, July 7 at the Field of Dreams Movie Site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Arnold&#8217;s selection comes as no surprise. He currently ranks fifth in the Northwoods League in home runs with eight. Lately, Arnold has gone on a power surge. He has slugged five home runs in his last seven games and attracted the league\u2019s attention with a two-homer night against the Mankato MoonDogs on July 1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At his previous school, Hawaii Pacific, Arnold reset the program\u2019s home run record by hitting 30 in just two seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He, along with Kellan Burke, will wear Hot Tot colors with pride at the All-Star festivities in Dyersville, Iowa. Both the Home Run Challenge on Tuesday and All-Star Game on Wednesday night will be played at a newly constructed ballpark on the Field of Dreams Movie Site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can experience these unique nights of Northwoods League baseball in person or by live stream on FloSports.
