UNC pitcher Shea Sprague has gone from rough preseason to making it rough on batters

Posted Jun 16, 2024
The Shea Sprague that No. 1-seed Tennessee will face is a dramatically different pitcher than the one who struggled to get his North Carolina teammates out during preseason practice. "He had a terrible preseason; got lit up, honestly," said UNC coach Scott Forbes, who will start Sprague for his Tar Heels in Sunday’s 7 p.m. ET game against the Vols. (Tar Heel Tribune)
