oza and Wilver Perez were chosen for the second all star team. The teams were selected from the rosters of all eight independent baseball leagues in North America.Pedroza and Perez spent the majority of the season playing for Victoria, but they were traded to the Calgary Vipers on August 17th and 27th, respectively. Along with Isaac Hess, the ex-Seals led the Vipers to the GBL championship and Pedroza was named MVP of the championship series.
