Mac Horvath is coming off one of the best weeks of the season in college baseball. His monster performance could be what North Carolina needs to spark a late run to a sixth straight NCAA Tournament appearance. Horvath hit a grand slam and two other homers and drove in 11 runs in a doubleheader sweep of Virginia Tech on Sunday. He was 9 of 16 with five homers and 19 RBIs as the Tar Heels went 3-1 last week. The Tar Heels are trying to make a sixth straight NCAA Tournament.
