Heels in the League 06/23/09 (MLB)
06/23/09
A head to head match up in the Majors between two ex Diamond Heels, while something that does not happen often, all four ex UNC players now in MLB got action on this day. The two major leaguers hurlers, plus one in the minors, combined for 10.1 innings on the mound while allowing no runs. The batters also had pretty good days, so overall we can definitely say that the ex Heels today had good performances. And it’s all right here, on The Fifth Corner, in the post I like to call “Heels in the League” (MLB)…
