UNC ace Kent Emanuel to take mound as starter

Posted Feb 17, 2012
Baseball America lists Kent Emanuel as the second-best 2013 draft prospect in the ACC, and UNC coach Mike Fox has no doubt that the pitcher’s services will be in high demand. With the loss of senior Patrick Johnson, Emanuel will be handed Friday starting duties, and he has undoubtedly become the team’s ace — though the humble pitcher himself is reluctant to use that title.
