Tar Heels Roll Past Coastal Carolina, 14-5

TUSCON, Ariz. - Less than six months after graduating early from North Davidson High School, North Carolina freshman second baseman Levi Michael was honored Wednesday with a spot on the Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America Team, as selected by Collegiate Baseball newspaper. UNC has had at least one freshman All-America selection for the past eight seasons.

The Welcome, N.C., native has been the Tar Heels' starting second baseman for all but one game this season and is batting .293 with 13 home runs, four triples, 13 doubles and 54 RBI. His 13 homers equal the second most by a UNC rookie and are just two off Chad Flack's record of 15 set in 2005.

Thanks to a career-high-tying four hits against Coastal Carolina in last weekend's regional, Michael was named to the NCAA Chapel Hill Regional All-Tournament Team.

The Tar Heels open the 2009 NCAA Chapel Hill Super Regional against East Carolina Saturday at noon on ESPNU.
