7
Preseason All-ACC selections on the
football team according to Pro Football
Focus (PFF). Redshirt senior offensive
guard Joe Sculthorpe and junior defen-
sive tackle Alim McNeill earned first-team honors.
Sophomore offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu received
a second-team nod, while junior nickel TYLER
BAKER-WILLIAMS, junior kicker Christopher Dunn
and redshirt junior punter Trenton Gill were placed

16
Game hitting streak for Washington
Nationals shortstop TREA TURNER,
from Aug. 14-31, before it was
stopped in a loss to the Phillies
Sept. 1, a game in which he still
reached base via a walk. That means
Turner enjoyed a 23-game on-base streak,
before it also ended the following day. As of
Sept. 2, he leads the majors in batting average
(.358, .014 points higher than No. 2) and hits (49,
one more than anybody else).
Turner's 16-game hitting streak tied Jimmy
Brown in 1940 for the longest by a former
Wolfpack player in MLB history.
