Levi Michael's Moment

Posted Jun 9, 2011
North Carolina has at least two more games with shortstop Levi Michael in the lineup, and if the junior standout has anything to do with it, it will be a few more than that. Michael became the sixth Diamond Heel in the last five years to get taken in the opening round of the first-year MLB Draft, and on Tuesday afternoon he and some other members of the team spoke with TarHeelIllustrated.com about his selection by the Minnesota Twins with the No. 30 overall pick.
