CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – UNC outfielder Vance Honeycutt was named First Team All-America by the College Baseball Foundation, earning his sixth All-America accolade this postseason, and relief pitcher Dalton Pence received Second Team All-America accolades for his fourth postseason recognition on Friday.
Honeycutt joins J.B. Bukauskas and Logan Warmoth as the only players in program history to be named to six All-America teams.
Honeycutt has also received first-team honors from the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA), D1 Baseball and Perfect Game, along with second-team accolades from Baseball America and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA).
