Putkonen pulled after Canes cut lead

By Eric Sorenson - March 11, 2007

A Jemile Weeks solo home run and a Roger Tomas double signaled the end of Luke Putkonen's day on the mound for UNC. Tyler Trice came in to pitch to one batter and he was replaced by Rob Catapano, who gave up a sac fly RBI to Yonder Alonso.

I've heard "this is worse than Mike Martin" from a couple people sitting near me in the crowd, in reference to UNC's pitching changes and visits to the mound in this inning. But I disagree, nothing could be slower and more painful than that.

It's now UNC 7 - Miami 6, after four and a half.
