Horvath Selected ACC Player Of The Week
May 1, 2023 | Baseball
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – North Carolina junior Mac Horvath is the Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Player of the Week as determined by a vote of a select media panel, the league announced Monday.
Horvath batted .563 in a 3-1 week for the Tar Heels and drove in an eye-opening 19 runs in the four games – including eight RBI in last Tuesday night's win over UNCW and seven versus Virginia Tech on Saturday. The Rochester, Minn., native hit a pair of three-run homers versus UNCW. His seven RBI versus Virginia Tech came on a grand slam and three-run homer and highlighted a day in which he keyed a doubleheader sweep by going 5-for-8 with 11 RBI.
Horvath's eight RBI versus UNCW were the most by a Tar Heel player since 2004, and his 19 RBI were the most by any player over a four-game stretch in UNC history. His 19 home runs and 56 RBI this season both stand as career highs, and he ranks among the ACC season leader in both categories.
The award is the first of Horvath's career.
The Tar Heels return to action Tuesday, May 2, against No. 13 Campbell at 6 p.m. inside Boshamer Stadium.
