Lucas: Ryan Graepel Cleans Up

Posted Jun 13, 2009
Then there's Carolina, a team that may very well start a lineup on Sunday that features Ryan Graepel at cleanup. Yes, that's 6-foot-1, 165-pound Ryan Graepel, the junior with two homers and 39 RBI. Head coach Mike Fox put Graepel in the batting order's fourth slot in the NCAA tournament against Dartmouth. He's been there for four of the past five games, and the Tar Heels have scored 40 runs in those four games. (Tar Heel Blue)
