Hebron's A.J. Pollock batted third and went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base for the South at Tuesday's Double-A Southern League All-Star Game in Jackson, Tenn. Pollock, a first-round pick of the Diamondbacks in 2009 out of Notre Dame (17th overall), is hitting .289 with four homers, 38 RBIs and 15 stolen bases for Mobile (Ala.) after missing the entire 2010 season with a broken bone.

Groton's Matt Harvey, the seventh overall pick of the Mets in 2010 after an All-American career at North Carolina, earned his much-anticipated promotion to Double-A. Harvey will join the roster of the Binghamton Mets today. He went 8-2 with a 2.37 earned run average in 14 starts for Class A St. Lucie (Fla.). He struck out 92 batters in 76 innings, allowing just 67 hits and 24 walks.

"Harvey is a starter -- major league arm, major league stuff; big time," B-Mets manager Wally Backman told the Binghamton Press & Sun Bulletin. "He's can throw 95, 96, with a great breaking ball, great changeup. He's the real deal."

Harvey will make his first appearance in Connecticut since his high school days at Fitch-Groton July 8-11, when Binghamton visits the New Britain Rock Cats for four games.
