CHAPEL HILL --- Former North Carolina pitcher Andrew Miller became the third player in progam history to have his number retired, with Chancellor Carol Folt and Senior Associate A.D. Larry Gallo presenting his No. 33 jersey in a ceremony Saturday at the Dean E. Smith Center. Miller, a 10-year MLB veteran, joins Dave Lemonds and B.J. Surhoff as Tar Heels who have received this unique honor.
Miller was the 2006 Baseball America National Player of the Year and Roger Clemens Award winner after finishing 12-3 with a 2.48 ERA as a junior. The native of Gainesville, Florida, helped Carolina to its first College World Series appearance since 1989 and sparked an unprecendented run of success for UNC baseball.
