Grounds crew creates diamond perfection
This story is part of The Well's series showcasing employees who work well together to further Carolina's mission.
On a bright 68-degree afternoon at Boshamer Stadium, the Tar Heels and their opponent, N.C. A&T, have finished batting practice. A different team stands just off Bryson Field near third base, ready to spring into action.
It's the grounds crew, and they have 30 minutes before the 4:03 p.m. first pitch to apply finishing touches to an infield they've spent most of the day perfecting. Their job is nearly done. No time for lollygagging.
