The UNC baseball program appears to be getting hot at the right time as they are battling for their NCAA Tournament lives with a few weeks to go in the season. And a big part of their recent success is from outfielder [autotag]Vance Honeycutt. [/autotag]
The freshman was named co-ACC Player of the Week splitting with Wake Forest designated hitter Jake Reinisch, the conference announced on Monday following the two teams’ series. In the five games for Honeycutt, he hit .474 (9-for-19) including hitting three home runs in that span.
He had six runs scored and seven RBI’s in that stretch, helping the Tar Heels go 4-1 in the process.
