After tying the UNC baseball program's all-time home run record with a leadoff home run in the first inning, Vance Honeycutt secured the record for his own in his very next at-bat.
The record-breaking home run was an absolute missile off the bat, as Honeycutt smoked a 115 MPH line drive off the netting just over the left field wall.

Honeycutt now passes Devy Bell on the all-time home run list as he resets a record that Bell held for 37 years. This alone shows just how difficult it is to set a record like this, especially at a program that has featured plenty of talented players in its illustrious history.
He now has six career multi-homer games, as he's just one away from tying another record. If he's able to put together another multi-homer contest, Honeycutt will tie Chris Maples for the most in program lure.
