Horton proves to be Tar Heel gem

Posted May 31, 2007

Josh Horton is a bit of a hidden treasure at the University of North Carolina. Many UNC fans probably could not tell you who Josh Horton is. Others may have heard the name, but could not recite just what he has accomplished in three seasons as a Carolina baseball player. In the ACC Tournament championship game on Sunday, the left-handed hitting Horton drove two balls into the gap between the center and right fielders. (Carolina Blue)
