Behind The Number: Daniel Stack

With the season just around the corner, we'll take a look at the UNCW baseball program and the players who make up the roster.

Sophomore infielder Daniel Stack made the team last season and gave the Seahawks strong defense up the middle. He played in seven games, making two starts and scored twice. He fielded all nine chanes cleanly.

The Seahawks open the 2015 season with Richmond on Feb. 13, as part of the Buffalo Wild Wings Battle at the Beach Classic.
