Heels in the League 07/31/09 (MLB)
(MLB) - 07/31/09
A head to head match up between two teams in the Majors with a touch of carolina blue highlights this day. Unfortunately we were not able to see a pitcher/batter duel as the ex hurler from Chapel Hill did not play in this game. In the minors nothing much to report as many of the batters did not have stellar performances while none of the pitchers saw action (one of the being on the 14 day DL list). All of this and much more on this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the games from July 31, 2009…
