Larson, Loopstok Named to 2023 Frontier League All-Star Game

July 3, 2023

Ottawa, ON – The Frontier League has announced its rosters for the upcoming 2023 Frontier League All-Star Game, in Crestwood, Illinois on Wednesday, July 12. The Titans will be represented by left-handed pitcher Grant Larson and catcher Sicnarf Loopstok at first announcement, with a chance to have more added when the final three players are added by each division’s managers later this week.


The teams were voted on by the league’s managers, coaches, broadcasters, general managers, and local media.


Larson, 26, is currently in his second season in the nation’s capital and has become a force within the rotation. Through ten starts this season, the 6-foot-7 lefty is 4-5 with a 3.76 ERA. Over 64.2 innings on the bump, Larson has walked 14 and has retired 54 on strikes, which ranks fifth in the league. The San Diego, California product has tossed two complete games and had a streak of 21 innings without walking a batter span four starts. In 2022 with the Titans, Larson went 6-5 with a 2.30 ERA in 35 appearances (two starts, 33 in relief) over 54.2 innings of work.


Loopstok, 30, will make the second all-star appearance of his professional career, after suiting up in the 2017 Carolina League mid-summer classic while in the Cleveland organization. Acquired in a trade with the Lake Erie Crushers in early June, Loopstok has eclipsed a .359 average since joining the Titans in just 26 games. On the season, Loopstok is hitting .322 with four home runs and 28 RBI in 38 games. Hailing from St. Cruz, Aruba, the 5-foot-11 right-handed hitter has recorded hits in all but four games since coming north of the border and has posted 14 multi-hit performances. After representing The Kingdom of the Netherlands at the World Baseball Classic this past spring, Loopstok returned to professional baseball in North America following two seasons in the Dutch Major League, hitting .325 in 48 games with Amsterdam.

OFFICIAL FRONTIER LEAGUE BOX SCORE Ottawa, ON - The Ottawa Titans (37-38) fell back under the .500 mark in an 11-3 loss to the Québec Capitales (52-24) on Friday - as the club suffered their fourth consecutive loss. Looking to do early damage, Marc-Antoine Lebreux clubbed a leadoff ground rule double to right off Titans starter Evan Grills (loss, 3-4) to kick off the game - ending up 90 feet away moments later on a wild pitch. Two batters later, Ruben Castro started the scoring with a sacrifice fly to right. Hector Sepulveda (win, 2-0) shut down any sort of momentum the Titans' offence had in mind through five and two-thirds of solid baseball. The right-hander allowed just three base runners over the first four innings, stranding a two-out walk and a Justin Fogel double in scoring position in the fourth inning. The Capitales rode the momentum from their starter to plate a leadoff Jesmuel Valentin single in the fifth inning to make it 2-0, as Anthony Quirion poked an RBI single to right. Sending nine to the plate in back-to-back innings against Grills, the Capitales poured it on with three in the sixth and four more in the seventh to put the game out of reach. Facing the Capitales for the third time in eight starts, Grills was done after six and two-thirds, allowing a season-high nine runs (eight earned) on ten hits, walking four, hitting two, and striking out two in the defeat. Taking advantage of three walks in the seventh inning, the Titans broke the scoreless bid from Sepulveda as Justin Fogel brought home Kaiden Cardoso's leadoff free pass with a sac fly to right. The Titans got to left-hander Franklin Parra in the eighth inning, connecting for two runs on three hits. With the bases loaded, AJ Wright grounded into a 5-4-3 double play, scoring a Cardoso leadoff single. Next, Fogel brought in his second of the night with an infield single, scoring Jake Sanford's double. After Brandon Marklund allowed an inherited runner to score in his third of an inning of work - right-hander Kyle Demi got the side in order in a clean eighth inning. Billy Duby surrendered a pair of runs in the ninth, going just two-thirds of an inning before Shane Gray took the hill to get the final out of the frame. Offensively, the Titans did not record their first hit until the fourth - then had to wait until the eighth for their remaining three hits. Justin Fogel went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI, while AJ Wright and Jackie Urbaez each walked twice. Jake Sanford went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk. Kaiden Cardoso chipped in with a 1-for-2 night, also drawing a walk. The Ottawa Titans continue the homestand with the second of a three-game series against the Québec Capitales on Saturday night at 6:00 p.m. at Ottawa Stadium. The final leg of the homestand will see Florence pay a visit for the first time since the 2023 season.
