lannetta continues
sizzling run at plate
Catcher extends streak to 18 games
BY DAVID MOSES
STAFF WRITER
WINSTON-SALEM - Watch
out, Robin Ventura.
OK, so maybe North Carolina
junior Chris lannetta is still more
than 40 games away from breaking
the Division I record for hits in
consecutive games. But 18 straight
games with a hit is mighty impres
sive.
lannetta, who extended his run
with hits in each game this week
end, said he wasn’t even aware of
the streak he had begun.
“I didn’t know about it until
someone told me yesterday,”
lannetta said. “I figured I wasn’t
going to get a hit today because
someone told me about it. It’s no
big deal.”
Not only is lannetta hitting a
team-high .387, but he also leads
the team in on-base-percentage as
well. He hits for power too he is
second on the team in both home
runs and RBI.
“I haven’t really been thinking
about much in the box,” lannetta
said. “Anytime I can clear my mind
see the ball and hit it, I can do
well.”

had nothing but praise for
lannetta.
“He’s been hitting a lot of balls
hard,” Fox said. “We needed him to
hit for us, and he’s been able to do
that.”
During the weekend series
against Wake Forest, lannetta
went 7 for 13 with four RBI and a
solo home run on Friday.
Perhaps what is most surprising
about lannetta’s streak is the fact
that he is the team’s everyday
catcher.
“It’s hard as a catcher because
you get a little worn down more
than every one else,” lannetta said.
Catching doesn’t seem to be too
much of a problem physically for
lannetta, as he has started all 29 of
UNC’s games. He has been behind
the plate for the majority of them.
Fox thinks catching helps
lannetta when he is up to bat.
“They say that catchers sit back
there behind the plate, so they get
to see a lot of pitches,” Fox said. “I
think there is some truth to that.”
Although he is doing a ton of
damage at the plate, lannetta’s
main contribution to the team
might be when he is behind it.
“He’s a great catcher,” said UNC

Georgetown trounces UNC
WASHINGTON - Lauryn
Bernier and Ali Chambers each
scored hat tricks to lead No. 2
Georgetown to a 14-3 win against
the No. 13 North Carolina women’s
lacrosse team on Sunday.
Allison Higgins, Lindsay
Higgins and Melissa McCarthy
each scored one goal for UNC (7-4).
In addition to Bernier and
Chambers, five other Hoyas (7-1)
contributed goals in the game.
Freshman goalkeeper Kristen
Hordy made eight saves on the

Softball wins ACC opener
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -
The North Carolina softball team
started its ACC season off on a win
ning note, as it swept Virginia 3-1
and 7-2 to kick off conference play.
UNC’s Crystal Cox pitched a
Sports
pitcher Garry Bakker. “We haven’t
seen any catchers that are as good
as him as far as calling the game
and throwing out runners when
you need it.”
So far this season, lannetta has
thrown out more than 50 percent
of attempted base-stealers and has
only committed four errors.
“We’re letting him call pitches
back there, so we’re putting the
game in his hands,” Fox said. “He
takes a lot of pride in his defense,
and I think that shows.”
Two of the Tar Heels’ regular
starting pitchers are freshmen, and
it is important that they have an
experienced pitch-caller behind
the plate.
“A good catcher can always help
out a pitcher,” Bakker said.
lannetta was recently named to
the official watch list for the
Johnny Bench Award, which is
presented annually to the nation’s
top collegiate catcher.
Despite all his recent success,
lannetta remains nothing but
humble.
“(I) go out there and play every
day, see the ball and hit the ball,” he
said. “TVy and not make this game
harder than it is.”
