MC Eaton brings veteran power and clutch pop to UNC’s lineup
In the 2026 season, MC Eaton has been a real difference-maker for North Carolina, hitting .285 with 11 home runs and 35 RBI while providing versatile, everyday value as a utility bat[7]. She’s more than the stat line, too: UNC and local coverage show she has a knack for timely, momentum-flipping swings — including a two-run homer in the sweep-clinching win over NC State — and she arrived with a reputation as a proven power hitter who can punish mistakes to the pull side[5][9].
