WASHINGTON, D.C. - Coming off a year in which he set the school single-season hits record and lifted the Tar Heels to the College World Series with a dramatic walk-off home run against Alabama in the Super Regional, North Carolina junior first baseman Chad Flack earned preseason All-America accolades Monday from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. Flack joins teammate Josh Horton on the second team.
A native of Forest City, N.C., Flack had one of the finest offensive season in Carolina history in 2006. He set the school record with 112 hits and also cracked UNC's top-10 single-season totals with 68 RBI and 68 runs scored. Flack, who hit .384 on the season and hit 13 home runs, ranked among the Atlantic Coast Conference's top 10 in average, runs, home runs, triples, RBI, slugging percentage, total bases and fielding percentage. He started 67 games, mainly at first base.
Flack and the Tar Heels open the 2007 season Feb. 16 against Seton Hall.
