Three Diamond Heels working to improve during summer baseball at the Cape

Posted Jul 27, 2023
Three UNC baseball players are spending their summer covered in sweat and sunburns, but not because of beach vacations. Instead, Casey Cook, Dalton Pence, and Ben Peterson are immersed in the world of baseball’s premier summer league known as "the Cape." Peterson and Pence are using their time at the Cape to fine-tune their pitching arsenal. (Daily Tar Heel)
