NC State’s Dunand in Home Run derby
N.C. State’s Joe Dunand will participate Thursday in the sixth annual TD Ameritrade College Home Run Derby in Omaha, Neb.
Competition begins at 8:30 p.m. The freshman third baseman and nephew of Alex Rodriguez cranked seven homers in his first year, four shy of the N.C. State freshman record held by Brian Bark (11 in 1987). Dunand’s total marks the fourth most for a Wolfpack true freshman since 1987.
Dunand will square off against defending champion Eric Gutierrez of Texas Tech, as well as Wake Forest’s Will Craig, North Dakota’s Jeff Campbell, BYU’s Colton Shaver, Miami’s Zack Collins, Georgia Tech’s Kel Johnson, and Mercer’s Kyle Lewis.
