SeBaseball has posted a very good article about Robert Woodard taking the spotlight now for the UNC Baseball program.

Andrew Miller has been called up by the Detroit Tigers after pitching a total of five innings in professional baseball. In those five innings, Miller struck out nine batters.

This is a huge accomplishment for College Baseball and should give the College Baseball World some more notoriety.
