Heels in the League 08/04/09 (MLB)
(MLB) - 08/04/09
A pretty good day for the ex UNC batters as most that got to the plate had at least one hit, with several of them having extra base hits. As far as the arms that once pitched in Chapel Hill not much to report, as just one of the ex Diamond Heels got to the mound, and he didn’t even see a full inning. It’s all right here on this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the games from July 4, 2009. Still talking about pitchers, the one that is in Triple A and on the DL list should be coming back soon, and we shall see if he can rebound from the front end of the season.
