Adversity.
It is a word Michael Amditis is awfully too familiar with.
The redshirt sophomore has become one of the Hurricanes’ leaders in 2019 after overcoming injuries in three straight seasons, but Amditis’ biggest hurdles have been away from the baseball diamond.
While in high school, Amditis lost both his uncle and grandfather due to tragic accidents.
The losses were difficult for the Boca Raton, Florida native to handle. But on the day he was supposed to start college, Amditis’ world turned upside down.
His father, Michael, died on June 26, 2016. He was 57 years old.
