UNC calls on freshman to avoid CWS elimination
Posted Jun 17, 2013
North Carolina pitching coach Scott Forbes turned to his freshman closer Monday morning and said: “Thornton, you’re on the bump.” With that, it was official. No. 1 overall seed UNC will start its trek through the loser’s bracket behind a freshman with five collegiate starts. “You dream about pitching in games like these in the College World Series,” Thornton said.
