J.B. Bukauskas thriving in first season at North Carolina

Posted Apr 16, 2015
During his three years of varsity baseball at Stone Bridge High School, right-handed pitcher J.B. Bukauskas found that when he needed to get an out, he just reared back and fired his 95 mile per hour fastball past the hitter. Bukauskas is learning that is not always the case at the collegiate level. But he is adapting quickly as a freshman at UNC and is finding success with the Tar Heels. (Inside NoVa)
