Diamond Heels Vance Honeycutt makes history on Saturday

Diamond Heels true freshman Vance Honeycutt broke Devy Bells’ single-season record for home runs. The phenom will look tack on more as the Heels look even the score in the Super Regionals.

The UNC baseball team made a dramatic turn late in the season going from a team on the cuffs of making the NCAA tournament to winning the ACC tournament and hosting super regionals.

A major reason for the change in play has to do with freshman phenom Vance Honeycutt who already has his name in the UNC history books.

As a true freshman Honeycutt homered 25 times, breaking North Carolinas single-season home run record. Before Honeycutt swung his way into history, the record belonged to Devy Bell, who set the record back in 1986.

On the season, Honeycutt has 73 hits, 57 RBIs, and 29 stolen bases in 63 games.

Honeycutt will look to keep his swing alive as they play in a must-win game two against Arkansas in the Super Regionals. They will try to revenge the 4-1 defeat to force a game three to dance on.
