Horton hits a big one

Posted May 30, 2007

Winning the Atlantic Coast Conference baseball tournament impressed University of North Carolina shortstop Josh Horton somewhat. Being named the tournament's most valuable player did not appear to change his pulse rate whatsoever. Horton went 6-for-16 in the tournament with four runs scored, three extra-base hits and two runs batted in. He had a double to go with his game-winning triple in the title game. (Chapel Hill News)
