Petersburg Generals’ third-baseman, Greyson Schram, was the homerun derby runner-up at the 2008 Coastal Plain League All-Star game in Asheboro,NC, on Monday.
The all-star game took place on Tuesday, but the home run derby kicked off the all-star events on Monday. Schram, along with 15 of the CPL’s finest, hit the diamond at Asheboro’s McCrary Park for the all-star event.

points only to be beaten by Barrett Kleinknect from the Florence
Redwolves, who ended up with 39 points.
The Coastal Plain League All-Star event involves players from all three
divisions, and places them on two teams for the game, with 16 hitters
competing in the homerun derby.
