DiNATALE EARNS MVP AWARD
The Canes dominated the ACC's All-Tournament Baseball Team, announced Sunday. Five of the 11 players are Canes, including MVP left fielder Dave DiNatale. The others are first baseman Yonder Alonso, 2b Jemile Weeks, CF Blake Tekotte and P Chris Hernandez.
Some other good Canes baseball facts:
Weeks has stolen 19 bases this year and has been caught just once.
Alonso leads the nation with 65 walks and is 2nd in the ACC with 73 runs scored.
Kyle Bellamy tied for the ACC lead in pitching appearances with 35. Bellamy has a legit claim as one of the most valuable Canes this season, which is rare to say for a set-up reliever. But that is how dominant he has been this year.
Jim Morris became the first coach to win ACC baseball titles with 2 different teams - Georgia Tech and Miami. His 5 overall ACC titles ranks second in ACC history behind Bill Wilhelm of Clemson. Morris is also No. 1 among active coaches.
