North Carolina catcher Cody Roberts was receiving medical attention Sunday after a foul ball hit him in the groin area during an ACC game with Duke at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
The injury occurred in the seventh inning and caused Roberts to leave the game.
After UNC beat Duke 8-6, Tar Heels coach Mike Fox said the plan was for Roberts to be transported to an emergency room.
A junior, Roberts was injured when Duke third baseman Jack Labosky fouled off a pitch from UNC’s Brett Daniels with no outs in the seventh inning. Roberts immediately fell to the ground in discomfort.
