Heels in the League 07/27/09 (MLB)
(MLB) - 07/27/09
A very good day for all the ex Tar Heels. Most of the pitchers got in the game and no one had any losses. The bats in the minors had a very good day, with one going long and a couple having RBIs. In the Majors the two batters from Chapel Hill didn’t have as much luck (going 1 for 7). And it’s all right here, right now, on The Fifth Corner, in this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) for July 27, 2009. Make sure that tomorrow you check back here again as I will have two more editions, but for now enjoy this one…
