Jake Knapp wanted to treat it like any other day. No festivities. No fanfare. He didn’t let his mom come. He wanted it to be normal..“I just wanted to treat it like any other scrimmage,” he said. And to any onlooker, the scene would look normal. Knapp wore a Carolina Blue tee, pants, a hat and cleats. He walked to the mound in Boshamer Stadium like any pitcher would. (Daily Tar Heel)
