Colin Moran admitted Thursday that it was difficult to not think about Major League Baseball’s first-year player draft. By Thursday night, the third baseman for UNC had a much clearer idea about his baseball future. He was selected by the Miami Marlins as the sixth pick overall. Now, the 6-foot-3 junior can concentrate on helping the Tar Heels earn a return trip to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. (Fayetteville Observer)
