Posted Jun 6, 2019
In the bottom of the ninth inning, with clouds rolling in and UNC down 6-5 to UNCW, Tar Heel freshman slugger Aaron Sabato stepped to the plate and whacked a first-pitch fastball over the Boshamer Stadium fence that tied the game. The home run sparked UNC's 7-6 win in the NCAA Regional opener. For Sabato, it was a feeling he had never felt before. (Inside Carolina)
