Chapel Hill: Eighty-Six and Sunny at Boshamer

By Bryan Graham - June 02, 2006

Those ominous forecasts of rain be damned: It's 86 degrees without a storm cloud in sight on the campus of the University of North Carolina.

After a long-winded expedition to track down my working media credential took me from across campus to the Dean Smith Center -- where I took a brief sneak peek at the storied basketball program's tricked-out Hall of Champions -- I made it back to Boshamer Stadium just in time for Heath Rollins' first pitch: a called strike on UNC Wimington second baseman Chris Hatcher.

In game action, a threat was averted for the Seahawks in the bottom of the first. With runners on first and second and two out, Grayson Evans chased down Phil Carey's hard-hit fly on the warning track for a 370-foot out. Zeroes through one on an idyllic afternoon in Chapel Hill.
