What amazes me about Brian and this record is he has hit fifth in the lineup all year. The fifth hitter is of the so call 3-4-5 part of the lineup that suppose to be your power part of the order. Brian which I doubt any of us thought that he would hit seven home runs in his career had done well leading the team in rbi's with 61.
We all know that Brian is an ideal lead off hitter and Carolina is using another player there who is a senior. Next year look for Brian to lead off and move to center field. Hitting fifth in the lineup most of the time means runners are on base ahead of you which prevents Brian from stealing bases as well getting the extra base on a hit with a runner in front of you. I can think of five doubles that Brian had this year that probably would have been a triple but a slow runner was in front of him and had to stop at second. If Brian stays healthy he will probably own the career and season triple record before he is through.
Through Sunday afternoon's game the ACC is 14-4. Miami,Clemson,Florida State, Georgia Tech and Virginia all were 2-0 in their regional. North Carolina and Virginia Tech each with elimination wins today are 2-1 and N C State is already home for the summer as they went 0-2.
The aluminum bat almost makes college baseball look like slow pitch softball. There has been a 20-16 game and Coastal score 25 in a victory today. There are not many teams that have pitching to survive unless they out slug their opposition. If I had to make a college world series pick right now Virginia and UCLA seem to have the pitchers to last a while.
Game five of the Stanley Cup goes to Chicago 7-4 over the Flyers. Blackhawks lead 3 games to two.
Thursday night they were old and over the hill as La beat Boston in game one of the NBA finals. Tonight those old cagey Celtics beat LA 103-94 to even the series 1-1 in games.
Carolina has lost their second game this weekend to Oklahoma 3-2 after losing last night 7-6. The first time in five years North Carolina will not go to the College World Series.
