Another preferred walk-on, Evan Hughes Jul 1, 2013 19:28:47 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by Top Cat on Jul 1, 2013 19:28:47 GMT -5 I saw this in the Asheville paper web site - Hayesville graduate Evan Hughes has accepted a preferred walk-on spot with the Western Carolina University baseball program.Hughes is a left-handed pitcher and was an All-Big Smoky Mountain Conference selection this past season for the BSMC champion Yellow Jackets (21-1).He was 3-0 with a 0.73 earned-run average and 43 strikeouts in 28 2-3 innings pitched. At the plate, Hughes batted .484 with 29 RBIs and 13 doubles.Looks to be a good pick up for the Catamounts.
