Heels in the League 08/21/09 (MLB)
(MLB) - 08/21/09
A pretty good day for the ex Diamond Heels, for the hitters, as most getting at least a hit, while the ex Carolina pitchers did not see any action. Great day for a Big Leaguer, who got two homers on the night as well as three RBIs. As the summer slowly goes away some of the UNC players seem to be heating up for the final stretch of the season. And it’s all right here, on The Fifth Corner, in this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the games from August 21, 2009…
