A pretty slow night in the Majors, with just one of the four ex Diamond Heels playing. While in the minors plenty of action with the bats, as several had multiple hits, others got RBIs or scored runs. And it’s all right here, on this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB). With the second part of the baseball season about to start tomorrow it’s going to be interesting if any of these ex Tar Heels will see the major league or if they will finish out their season with the farm teams. But for now enjoy this post about the games from July 7, 2009, as I am catching up on these games…
