GoHeels Exclusive: Forever 49
Not a day goes by when Brandon Martorano doesn't think about Zach Attianese, his former North Carolina baseball teammate and childhood friend who was tragically killed in a car accident last June.
He thinks about their time playing with and against each other during travel ball. He reflects on their time as freshman roommates at UNC. Mostly, though, he reminisces about the constant example Attianese set and how that continues motivating him to be the best person he can be.
Some days these thoughts run through Martorano's head more often than others. But around the time of the Fall World Series in October, they persisted even more than usual.
