Casey Cook’s Rare Bunt Works Out Best for UNC in Pivotal Moment

Posted May 18, 2024
Tied in the top of the ninth inning with Duke, Casey Cook looked toward UNC coach Scott Forbes and received a signal for the first time this season. In the Tar Heels' 52nd game of this season and Cook's 206th at-bat, he was ordered to bunt. It was a pressure-cooker moment for Cook on Friday afternoon, with teammate Vance Honeycutt at first base.
