Benji blast puts Tarheels ahead 5-4

By Eric Sorenson - March 11, 2007

Benji Johnson, who came into the game hitting a sparse .212, skimmed a home run just over the right field fence to push UNC to a 5-4 lead after two innings.

Manny Miguelez looked great early on for the Canes, but gave up back-to-back walks to start the 2nd inning and things went to hell from there, including an RBI single from Drew Poulk and a hit batsman before Johnson's blast.

And by the way, it's hot here. And I wore jeans. Maybe I should actually sit in the press box after all.
