Vance Honeycutt added to his already historic UNC baseball career resume by blasting a two-run walk-off home run to propel the Diamond Heels to a win in the opening game of the Super Regional against West Virginia.
Without a doubt, the moonshot home run will be played on repeat for many years to come, as it simply has to rank near the top (or at the top) of the list of most important home runs of his UNC baseball career.
Oh, and this guy is the program's all-time home run king! There's been plenty of long balls off his bat over the last three seasons!
Sure, the ESPN camera angle is nice and all, but there were many different angles captured from those in attendance on Friday night.
Here are some of the best ones we've seen, starting with one from our good friend (and Keeping It Heel contributor) Jordan Falls:

If you watch the video, you will see the excitement from a fan sitting right in front of the camera's view. That fan was identified as Brandon Falls, so if you have extra tickets for tomorrow's game, we suggest hitting him up- the Bosh needs that energy once again for Game 2!

Now, courtesy of our friends at UNC Barstool, this one is another great angle, as you get a great view of the fly ball heading right over the left field fence.

Of course, who doesn't want to see that beautiful swing from a closer view!

These aren't actual videos of the home run blast, but you get a great view of the on-field celebration that took place!

So, we have to ask: which angle of Vance Honeycutt's home run did you enjoy the most?
We're biased, but we're going to say... ALL OF THEM!
