CANES DOMINATE ALL-ACC TEAM
The Canes on Monday placed six players on the All-ACC First Team, more than any other school. And counting two players on the second team, the Canes' 8 All-ACC picks also led the league.
Miami's Jim Morris was named Coach of the Year, and Canes pitcher Chris Hernandez was named the Freshman of the Year. Those are the first two Canes to win individual ACC baseball honors since the school joined the league.
Another amazing note: The Canes' entire starting infield made first-team All-ACC - Yonder Alonso at first, Jemile Weeks at second, Ryan Jackson at shortstop and Mark Sobolewski at third.
Also making first-team All-ACC for the Canes were center fielder Blake Tekotte and Hernandez.
Making second team were starting pitcher Eric Erickson and closer Carlos Gutierrez.
Florida State catcher Buster Posey was named the ACC Player of the Year. North Carolina pitcher Alex White (8-3), beaten by the Canes last week, was named ACC Pitcher of the Year.
Miami's Hernandez, with a better record at 10-0 and a great ERA at 2.67, should have been the Pitcher of the Year in addition to top freshman. But overall, Canes fans have to be pleased with a banner day for the program.
