Freshman pitcher Zac Gallen excels in debut
Posted Oct 2, 2013
As he pulled his North Carolina jersey over his shoulders and placed his hat on his head, freshman Zac Gallen paused for a moment to take it all in. It was the New Jersey pitcher’s childhood dream, and after years of waiting, the day had finally come. Gallen was slated to compete for the first time as a Tar Heel Monday in a scrimmage against the Ontario Blue Jays, one of Canada’s top amateur baseball programs.
