Hovis Shuts The Door

Posted Apr 24, 2014
One of the major storylines that came out of last year's UNC baseball team was the emergence of right-handed pitcher Trent Thornton as a weapon out of the bullpen.

Enter sophomore Reilly Hovis, who took over as the team's closer without missing a beat. (GoHeels.com)
