COLUMBUS, OH - Former Bradley Baseball teammates Mike Tauchman and Jason Leblebijian were starters in tonight's Triple-A All-Star game at Huntington Park and the duo combined to go 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI's before being subbed out.

The starting centerfielder for the visiting Pacific Coast League squad, Tauchman was 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI's and a stolen base. He collected the game's first hit with a 1-out double in the top of the first inning, pushed the PCL's lead to 4-1 with a run-scoring groundout in the second inning and added a RBI single in the third inning for an 8-1 lead before giving way to a pinch-hitter to lead off the sixth inning.

The starting third baseman for the International League, Leblebijian drew a leadoff walk to open the bottom of the second inning, struck out in the fourth and banged out a RBI single in the fifth to pull the IL team to within 8-5 before being replaced in the field to start the sixth inning.

As the game enters the seventh-inning stretch in Columbus, the PCL All-Stars hold a 10-7 lead.

Tonight's Triple-A All-Star Game will be shown on MLB Network next Wednesday, July 18 and the radio play-by-play will be simulcast on Sirius XM channel 89.
