Not a very good day for the ex Diamond Heels (with the few playing going 0 for 10) or for their teams, as none of them won their respective games. None of the ex Carolina pitchers made appearances in their match ups, and with the way things went on this day they are probably happy about that. Check out all the stats for July 5, 2009 in this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB), and make sure to come back in the afternoon as another edition will be available on The Fifth Corner.
