Heels in the League 08/22/09 (MLB)
(MLB) - 08/22/09
Not a great day for the batters from Chapel Hill as they went 3 for 18 overall, while the two ex North Carolina pitchers who took to the mound gave up two runs (one apiece) in 6.1 innings pitched combined, unfortunately one of them got the loss during his outing, while the other gave up a run in his inning on the rubber. All of that and much more in this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the games from August 22, 2009. Make sure to check out The Fifth Corner this afternoon as I do another edition of this post to catch up (as usual)…
