This Day In UNC Baseball History: May 5

Posted May 5, 2020
For today's 'This Day in Recent Carolina Baseball History' we go back to 2009 and 2012 where 3 future big leaguers pitched for the Heels and a come-from-behind ACC series clincher thanks to good relief pitching and a big hit from Brian Holberton. Plus a quick hit from 2015. On May 5, 2009 UNC hosted Elon following final exams. They were ready to go. (GoHeels.com)
