Notebook: Not bad, for starters

Posted Jun 2, 2006

Robert Woodard isn't No. 1 on anyone's draft board. But he's Mike Fox's choice to start the North Carolina baseball team's first game of the NCAA Tournament. Woodard, a 6-2 junior right-hander who has spent much of this season following ace left-hander Andrew Miller in UNC's rotation, will take the mound when the Tar Heels host Maine today at 6 p.m. in the Chapel Hill Regional at Boshamer Stadium.
