A redshirt senior right-handed pitcher from Wake Forest, North Carolina, Kunz (2-0) was absolutely dominant in his outing in No. 13 UNC Pembroke’s league sweep of No. 14 Belmont Abbey. Kunz struck out 14 and allowed just two hits in UNC Pembroke’s 12-0 second game win over Belmont Abbey. He did not walk anyone in the complete-game victory and he retired the side in order in three different frames.
